Serving Birmingham for a Third of a Century
self. His wife and child had been
killed in the extermination camp
in Auschwitz. He had been in
Landsberg since liberation two
years before. That was a long
time.
"This is like a game. It gives me
something to do.”
"And there's no work you can get?”
I persisted. “Have you got a
trade?”
“Of course I have, I am a skilled
leather worker. In Poland I had a
good job before the war. If I could
get a machine, or a place in a fac
tory . . .” He stopped and looked
wistfully into some past where
there had been work, a wife, and
a child. Then the anger returned.
"What’s the use; there's no ma
chine; there's no visa. You want
me to choke here with the calories
—you innocent people.”
I realized that the conversation
on the street corner was drawing
to an end. I was sorry for the bad
beginning when I made myself hLs
I etter. As I turned to go, I took
the package of cigarettes, out of
my purse and handed it to him.
"Take it,” I said, “Take it as a
token.”
Hi- started back. "You insult
me,” he said, "I wanted to buy.”
