Yes, good and bad…

A word about those bad ones. My father was an eyewitness of the liquidation by the Germans of the Jewish Ghetto at Radom in Central Poland though "liquidation" is an euphemism from modern media that sounds like "removing". Hundreds of the Jews were executed then during their march through Radom streets. What am I writing about you may read here. Up to this time my father has one and the same nightmare – a view of execution done in his presence at the street. Especially one vision haunts his mind in the dreams -- the remains of the Jewish skulls and brains after shots in the heads.

My father belongs to this WWII generation that never will understand how it is possible that "The New York Times", for example, may call nazi concentration camps "the Polish concentration camps" instead of "German-operated concentration camps in Poland" and the same goes for all Jewish Ghettos in Poland.
