 | | When I was in Poland two years ago, every ceremony ended with the singing of 'Hatikva,' the national anthem of Israel. |
 | | We sang it at the Children's Forest, where 800 children were separated from their parents and murdered, and we sang it in Jedwabne, where 1,600 Poles rose up in 1941 and murdered their 1,500 Jewish neighbors without a German in sight. |
 | | Without thinking, I said aloud, 'Hatikva' and it seemed that they heard me. Suddenly, I could hear others screaming 'Hatikva, Hatikva' and the broadcaster even announced that there were calls for the national anthem. |
