Re: [Cz-L]It’s all gone, it’s still there

Eytan,
  1. Stealing a stone from the Jewish Zwinter for home repair was not the
       worst crime committed in our neighborhood.
 2. If you steal a stone always chose the best available quality.
 3. The very religious would not do it - not for respect of their neighbors
       but uf fear of G-d.

       Terrible things the did.. We lived in peace with our Jews, Such nice
people.
         My best friends were Jewish."

I think about how people can make the choice of the hardest stone for
their beloved's resting place and how that very resilience has been
twisted in the misuses of the grave markers of the Jews in Galicia and
Bukovina (and, adding even more sadness, in other places as well). I
gasp when I think of the insertion of such stones in another building,
like a house, and my muscles contract when I hear the story of the
stone's re-emergence during repairs to a house or a street. It is a
travesty and a piercing tragedy, searing even in the re-telling . . .
