To the Editor:
Watching "Night and Fog", listening to the "Dramalogue",
and then seeing the presentation of the "Warsaw Ghetto", put us
survivors on the cross again. In the still silence our hearts were
bleeding, our brains swimming with questions, our souls paralyzed
. . . could we say something?
In a solumn procession we left the theater with all the others,
our steps dragging from the darkness of the horrors, and proceeded
to the lobby where we were brought back again to the
normality of the present.
Today, the day after, we still have a heavy hangover, but the
sun is shining and many chores ahead call us to our daily duties
-thank God!
To David Lazarus, Sam Fried, and all those who gave so
much of their time and skills in presenting this monumental
work, we thank you for your tremendous effort. We are grateful
to you, to our Jewish community and to non-Jewish friends who
keep these most painful pages of historical inhumanity alive so
that future generations may be spared repetition. We cannot
change the past, but we can shape the future and let the phoenix
rise again from the ashes.
The honoring of our liberators recently was a well deserved
expression of our appreciation. They shall never be forgotten.
With deepest gratitude and respect,
Ignac and Miriam Grossman
Survivors of the Holocaust
