These halcyon years for the young couple came to a swift end with Germanys invasion of Poland in 1939, and the subsequent merciless attacks on the Jewish communities. The German soldiers in Piaskes constantly feasted on stolen Polish delicacies and liquor. Soon their stomachs started to swell and their teeth began to rot. Even though patronizing a Jewish doctor was strictly forbidden, they heard that Dr. Dovid Landau was a good dentist and surreptitiously went to him for treatment. They befriended him, and as a result of these "connections," he was able to help the Jewish community by having a number of harsh decrees annulled. He used his friendships with his Nazi patients to ensure a somewhat easier life for his brethren.

2009-01-03 What Became Of Western Morality

The extent of Americans ignorance is breathtaking. Israel has the Palestinians jammed into tightly controlled ghettos known as Gaza and the West Bank. With Egypts help, Israel controls the inflows of food, medicines, water, and energy into Gaza. Palestinians in Gaza are not permitted to enter Israel or Egypt. Last week a humanitarian ship bringing food and medicine was rammed by Israeli gunboats and turned away.

We must avoid the mistake that was made by blaming the German people for Hitler. It was the aristocratic German military that tried to remove Hitler. In contrast, Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi blocked the attempt to impeach George W. Bush and Dick Cheney.

2009-01-03 Pigs in a Blanket German Style and raquo; Right Cuisine

I have a German daughter-in-law who is a very good cook. Ive learned a lot from her about German dishes. Below is a recipe for Pigs in a Blanket, German style.

Another misstep was an amuse-bouche of seafood in galantine-like form on a bed of spicy black beans. I hate to be an ingrate when presented with a gift, particularly the little one-bite wonders that fine restaurants offer their guests, but this one left me as cold as the spicy black beans were. It was no indication of how harmonious the rest of the meal would be.

While diners may just think of Kil@wat as a convenient place for dinner before a show, many of its appetizers, entres and desserts are worthy of the spotlight in their own right. Citrus BBQ Glazed Salmon ( usd. 20) pairs seared salmon with an updated version of German potato salad.

2009-01-02 Aid Groups Demand Gaza Ceasefire OneWorld. net (U. S. )

It is time for the Security Council to urgently pass a binding resolution demanding an immediate halt to violence in Gaza and Israel by all parties and an end to the blockade," said Widdersheim.

It will be no happy new year for thousands of civilians left without food, electricity, or running water. "

In a joint statement early this week, Oxfam and other aid agencies -- including Atlanta-based CARE International, the German group Medico International, and the Swedish group Diakonia -- said the Israeli bombardment of Gaza had further complicated their humanitarian efforts in the territory and it was causing more suffering to the innocent, especially women and children.

2009-01-01 Beer: Smoke Gets in Your Glass

A family named Trum runs Heller, which produces two smoky brews. The mahogany-colored Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Marzen has an aroma somewhere between that of bacon and kielbasa. Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Weizen, a cloudy brown German-style wheat ale, has a much more restrained smokiness; only the barley malt is smoked, not the wheat malt. It has hints of clove and bubble gum, and a phenolic, almost peaty finish.

Rauch" is German for smoke, and this esoteric style harks back to beermaking of centuries ago, when most breweries used malt that had been dried over an open flame. The process scorched the grain, importing a sooty, smoky flavor to the resulting murky brown beer.
