While exploring Germany I have gotten to speak to both Germans and Jews and ask them both the same question.
Are there Jews in your schools? The Germans said no. The Jews explain that they made sure nobody knew. Like a weed picked at the stem the beauty of a German Jews looks as if it is gone but the roots still live buried below The soil that their past love ones make so rich. Although you may not see a bud, as long as the roots are kept alive the plant will eventually be able to bloom again. It is our jobs as witnesses and educators to make sure that people know the only difference between a weed and a flower is that someone decided it was a weed.
