that is but one of the aspects of the 'yekkies' (the german jews who
fled to america in the '30s were called that by the rest of us who
were already here) which you can enjoy fully on this newsgroup.
we pitied them, but did not like them. more german than the germans.

I know no bitter Germans or angry Jews. Elsewhere.



I know lots of Jews and lots of Germans.
All nice people. UNLIKE someone we know here.
