Mother came with toys for Eugene & Sylvia. A blast has trapped 50 miners in Kentucky. "Big 3" conference in Moscow has ended. A new fascism is reviving in Italy. Jews in Palestine have bombed a police station, killing several and will oppose the British everywhere.
I was too young to appreciate the Jewish struggle in Palestine against the British while it occurred; I only really remember when the State of Israel existed. But it brings to mind an incident, many years later, when I was a camp counselor, when a fellow counselor, of Irish descent, said "I know you hate the Brits also". At the time, I hadn't thought of it, but I understood his reasoning very quickly.
My father started a "diary" in 1945 (more accurately, a journal, covering both family and current events), and I'm going to see if this is a decent way to publish it. Since I'm doing it as a blog, to get to the beginning of the journal, you have to go to the beginning of the blog.
