Southeast corner Northwestern Behind Gabe's Fruits In The Mayfair Shops Bitburg Memories As a child I clearly remember growing up and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and singing the Star Spangled Banner daily. I was proud then, proud to be an American and proud to be a Jew living in America. Since President Reagan vis- ited Bitburg Cemetery I have felt extremely alienated as an American, and am wondering where the meaning has gone to the Pledge of Allegiance and the Star Spangled Banner. Yes, I know we live in a democracy, but does that mean that the leader of our nation, who is sup- posed to represent the people, can do whatever he wants to do? I will never forget one eve- ning while I was a teenager, when my father leafed through a book my younger sister was reading on Nazi Germany. He ran across a picture of what I thought was just a soldier. My father quietly whispered to him- self the soldier's name and that he was beaten by him in Au- schwitz. I looked at my father and thought I was hearing things. I couldn't comprehend why anyone would want to harm my father. Quite simply, I'm very, very tired of anti-Semitism and tired of being a scapegoat. If anything positive comes out of Reagan's visit to Bitburg, it should be that as Jews we should realize we are alone, and we can't de- pend on anyone. We must be strong in our religious beliefs as well as helping our fellow Jews all over the world. Yes, we stand alone, but alone we stand together. Dr. Marc H.
