Jews have survived many programs in Europe. They have suffered the gas chambers too. They will still survive. It is their will and ingenuity that makes them survive - always and every time.

In India, we had many Jews and still have. Fortunately, the European dislike for Jews have never surfaced here in all our history. It is only when one read history that one was surprised of the indignities that was heaped on them in Europe. Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice was so poignant of the injustice on Jews. However, you have to give it to the Europeans that many of them were bold enough to speak out like Shakespeare!

In School I won the Elocution contest for Shylock's speech, 'Signior Antonio many a time and oft in the realto.....'. The sadness of Shylock has sort of ignited me that injustice on race and religion is the worst thing that can happen to humanity!
