was too much for Hitler, so he
denied them the world. That
is why they are here in my
shop; that is why I am here
This is the heaven we have
chosen — to have a second
chance at life as we would
have experienced it."
"There is no musician's
heaven, Dr. Goldberg. There
is no statesman's heaven.
Heaven is what you choose.
We all exist together. Names
and titles mean nothing.
Tailors, doctors, peddlers and
professors all exist together.
The Holocaust teaches an im-
portant lesson, Dr. Goldberg.
When it comes right down to
it we're all tailors. We're all
trying to mend the rips and
tears of our humanity. The
prejudiced, the selfish, the
mean-spirited, they have no
place here. Do you under-
stand, Dr. Goldberg?"
Goldberg stared into the
eyes of Moishe Levine and in
those eyes he saw the truth
and beauty of life and death.
Moishe spoke, "Dr. Goldberg,
why don't you take a look
through those doors again.
Perhaps you will see more
clearly now."
Goldberg walked over to
the door leading to the tailors
and peered through. Again,
the power of the stars over-
whelmed him, but this time
their illumination was steady.
Goldberg's attention was
drawn to the souls of an elder-
ly man and woman sitting at
their sewing tables just out-
side the door. They looked up
from their work for a brief
second, and, as they did,
Samuel saw in their eyes the
same depth of character, the
intelligence, the almost regal
bearing that for so long had
looked out at him from a
slowly fading photograph on
the wall of his parent's home.
The connection was made,
the links rewelded. As the
door closed, Goldberg fell
prostrate on the floor, bearing
the weight of his past life on
his now humble shoulders. A
tear rested on the lid of one of
Goldberg's eyes, balanced,
and then fell.
"Moishe," he said, holding
back a sob, "I never even
knew they were tailors:' And
whispering towards the door:
"Forgive me. Forgive me for
my ignorance."
Goldberg felt a hand on his
shoulder. It was that of
Moishe Levine. The hand
helped him regain his feet.
Goldberg sighed. "I under-
stand now, Mr. Levine. I only
wish I had understood when
I was alive."
"Be happy you understand
now, Dr. Goldberg."
"Oh, I am happy. I truly

am. Even if 1 have to work in

your factory, Mr. Levine."
"But you don't have to
work at all, Dr. Goldberg.
Heaven is what you make of

it. You're free to do anything
you like."
"That's just it," Dr.
Goldberg admitted, "I'm not
exactly sure what I want —
what I need. I think I'd just
like to look at the stars for a
little while. I'll follow their
lead."
Moishe approved. "No-
body's ever gone wrong up
here following the stars." He
led Goldberg to the front
door.
Samuel Goldberg put out
his hand. "Thank you,
Moishe. Thank you for every-
thing:'
Moishe shook Goldberg's
hand. "You're very welcome,
Samuel?'
Goldberg was taken aback.
"You know Moishe, that's the
first time you called me
Samuel?'
"Really," said Moishe, "I
hadn't noticed:'
Goldberg walked out the
door, shutting it behind him.
Moishe Levine sat back down
at his desk. He could hear the
whirr of the sewing machines
in the next room. Business
was, once again, back to nor-
mal at Moishe's Angelical Tai-
lorshop.

number of Polish leaders,

Cardinal Jozef Glemp and
Cardinal Franciszek
Macharski.
Siegman said that
Mazowiecki expressed
"great hurt and anger"
when speaking of the reports
last month quoting Shamir
as saying that Poles "drink
in (anti-Semitism) with their
mother's milk."
Mazowiecki also mention-

the Jerusalem Post that the
Poles "were anti-Semites
