Hello. I've met many survivors before and am actually a descendant of a Jewish Polish survivor. Many of the people who would have been extended family, died in the camps. My great grandmother I believe was the only one able to escape and come to America.

My questions maybe a bit deep:

  1. How did you feel fighting the Nazis as a Jewish soldier? Did you feel a sense of vengeance or justice by the end of the war and during it?

  2. How did things transition from the end of WWII to current day in Europe from your perspective?

I hope the third party of people is a group of scientists showing clearly that the fissures and incidents are a result of scientific cause and effect. Geothermal energy is one of the really hopeful cards to be played in renewable energy harvest.

Hmm, Tennessee maybe not. Roughly 75% of the cars in Tennessee are Japanese make. Unless they think Toyota, Nissan, and Honda are American derived names.

But honestly, this doesn't surprise me. I have a story like this for myself. I'm from NY and I used to commute into NYC for work. And we get a lot of tourists from all over the country and the world in NYC. People like to think we're rude, but we're really not, we just enjoy messing with people. Anyway, I had a really deep south family approach me once. It was around Time Square. It's always around Time Square. The dad asked, "Hey there young'un. Could uh, you point me towards the subway? Kinda having trouble figurn' our way around." Told him which signs to look out for, asked them where they were going and gave them tips for how to navigate the streets. Get towards the end of the conversation with him, pretty polite guy. "Thank you there young'un. Let me ask you something, where are you from?" Pretty common question in NYC. Figure I can teach him about some culture while he's here. "Oh, I'm Russian Polish Jew." Immediately following that, he looked at me as though he'd just seen a ghost or a demon. "Oh, you don't say? Funny, you don't seem to have yer horns." I think I stared at him for a good minute. I finally said, "Oh those. Well I had a hair cut today so I figured it'd troublesome to have to carry them around later on. You know, taking them on and off gets annoying. Besides, you walk around with them on too much, they start to hurt your neck." They nodded and just went on their way as if I was going to breath fire on them.

There are just some people in the world who know nothing but the little fragile bubble they live in. It's hysterical.
