It certainly enlightened me to the disappearance of the hyphenated German reference that my father so abhored. As a 8 or 9 year old in Brooklyn, my father, whose own father made great use of his bilingual skills in the import/export business, must have experienced the extreme pressure to shed the German language and culture. And that's what he did, to the point of failing his undergraduate language requirement at Columbia University, in spite of having a parent and grandparent at home who were fluent in German. Only a 'technical German' class allowed him to meet the requirement. He was determined to be an American and virtually never spoke of his ancestors or German heritage. Only after dad's death in the last decade have we learned of our artist ancestor who thrived in the Hanseatic port of Riga in 19th century Russian Empire and his son, who emigrated to Brooklyn and carried on the family's artistic activities. But much of the family history has been irrevocably lost in the erasure of German culture in America.

As an American writer I lived in Berlin from 1990-1993, a very interesting time indeed. I remember Shabbat dinners at the Israeli Consulate with my artist friend, Oded. And there was the High Holiday service in the east. Read about my musings on my blog, and please subscribe as I will too.<br />Best,<br />Linda<br />http://www.lindalaroche.com/blog/Linda LaRochehttp://lindalaroche.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097725289818391695.post-14547402915338263482012-01-01T09:53:04.469-05:002012-01-01T09:53:04.469-05:00Interesting to point out some of the constant wran...Interesting to point out some of the constant wrangling of traditions that has resulted in Christmas as we know it but it may be overstating things slightly to call it a war. Also, suggesting that people who worship trees are somehow more outmoded than Christians a tad prejudiced. Spirituality is timeless and if we are going to granting religions credibility based on how rational or modern they are then Christianity and Judaism would be out the door just as fast as paganism. A better way to celebrate the year might be by showing some solidarity with other traditions instead of trying to prove which one is better or more justified in its existence...<br /><br />peace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097725289818391695.post-85856031585537957472011-09-10T21:23:39.485-04:002011-09-10T21:23:39.485-04:00Congratulations on your success, Eva.

Now the police kick "loitering" people off of the bridge at 10pm. The bridge is not pedestrian though it does have very light car traffic -- one proposed solution was to solve the noisy people problem by making it easier for cars to cross.<br /><br />The problem is that most Berlin squares are now surrounded by constant traffic -- not inviting for people energy. Also people like to form something organically and a municipality has to be prepared to love it for all its problems for some.Slow Factoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12056080802746709323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097725289818391695.post-46540867428394153272011-07-12T03:21:22.632-04:002011-07-12T03:21:22.632-04:00Hostels present backpackers an opportunity to get ...Hostels present backpackers an opportunity to get away for a few days without wasting huge amount of dollars.Albergue Da Juventudehttp://www.alberguedajuventude.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097725289818391695.post-30477302309301896062011-06-22T01:28:00.589-04:002011-06-22T01:28:00.589-04:00It will be interesting to see if the Paultards pre...It will be interesting to see if the Paultards prevail over the agents of Gov.

I've been looking through various ex-pat blogs for people to contact about moving to Berlin. I speak fluent German and just earned a B.A. in poli sci and German this past December. My girlfriend and I are planning to relocate to Berlin this Fall. Do you have any tips of finding work in Berlin or just adjusting to life there in general? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.<br /><br />Gruss,<br />AlexAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4097725289818391695.post-58810062401363869442011-03-25T04:01:23.387-04:002011-03-25T04:01:23.387-04:00It is so sad he died.
