Yesterday I was listening to the news on WCBS and there was a story about a newly-published book “The Envoy: The Epic Rescue of the Last Jews of Europe in the Desperate Closing Months of World War II” By Alex Kershaw which deals with the Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg as well as his Swiss counterpart.
As the son of someone who was helped by one of them, I cannot begin to tell you how much it turns my stomach to read words such as:
Youre [sic] not alloued [sic] to be friends with a goy. Eisav sonei lyakov. Always keep that in mind. The person who you think is yur [sic] freind [sic] really hates you deep down. Why would you be freinds [sic] with someone who wants to kill you?
As my father, A”H used to say to some people:
“You have it too good.”
