past crimes

"Shema Israel, Adonai Elohanu, Adonai Ehad." I sat up in bed, the words of the dream still echoing in my mind. I hadn't understood them then, but I remembered them completely now. It was a prayer — the prayer Jews are most likely to say when dying."

turned away

February 21

I sent a copy to the prime minister. And I copied it to paste it here so he can never say I didn't write him.

Devorah Bernstein
78 Waverly Street
Winnipeg, Manitoba

Dear Prime Minister,

Many people of the Jewish community have written and asked you to let people from France and Europe into Canada, but you have never said yes. I am writing to ask you again, because we had an "If Day" here in Winnipeg. I'm sure you read about it. It showed what it would be like if the Germans invaded us. My father is a dentist and he is a good citizen. I am a good student. I could be better, and I am trying. Both my brothers are fighting for our country. We are Jewish. My cousin in France is Jewish. Her name is Sarah. She is a very talented pianist and would be a wonderful addition to our country. Please let her come here. Please help her and all the Jewish people in France.

Sincerely yours,
Devorah Bernstein
