This brought tears to my eyes about Soyfa and Abigail. It brings to my mind about Emily Hand when the Irish premier said she was ‘lost’. The hatred toward the Jewish peoples is beyond words. The propaganda that leaders spread in Europe including England is disheartening similar to what the German government did during WW2. Thanks so much for enlightening us on this, and Grossman was a great journalist.

Thanks, Mike.

Grossman is an exquisite writer who frequently touches. His novel Everything Flows is easier to read than Life and Fate; it is a good starting place for those who want to tackle his books.

I will be posting an essay about Emily Hand today.

Barry, you wrote or cited something not too long ago that stuck with me. Although most likely I recall it differently, “You can choose love, or you can choose hate - you must choose - you will choose. Regardless of your choice, you shall be held responsible for it.” For some reason, It sticks in my head.

Thank you Barry for your courage to be vulnerable. Thank you for your writing.
