Subject: RE: BS: Gerry Adams - my hero
Good on ya WOlfgang! I have to agree with Fiolar. I find it is the case that few of us who have empty places at our diner table (my mother is half Jewish and half Rom [Gypsy]) compair folks to Hitler. It diminishs the horror of a state with a goal of removing entire people's from their place on the earth. My father, who was Anglo-Irish, and more than simply progressive, did not understand that, it is the simple knowlege that if I were there I would not be here, which imprints itself on the heart, in our blood, forever. Ziguenier nacht in Auschwitz Bergan Belsen will never end for those of that blood forever. Some day, other wars may end, but like the destruction of the Temple, some things become writen on the soul.
