Zurich
Continued from preceding page
about her cousin, use Wyler,
who was mentioned in a
memoir written — surprising-
ly — by Dr. Ruth Westheimer.
"See, here's her name," says
Freddy, getting out their copy
of All in a Lifetime and turn-
ing to the pages where use
Wyler's name appears.
It turns out that while
Heidi's cousin was growing
up in the town of Uster,
Switzerland, she formed a
close friendship with a young
girl who was a recent refugee
from Germany.
That young - refugee later
moved to Israel and then the
United States, where she in
time became a famous sex
therapist. And the Bieder-
manns, who have followed
with interest Dr. Ruth's suc-
cess story, say it never could
have happened in
Switzerland.
"On Swiss television she
had very little success," says
Heidi. "She was too direct. We
Swiss are much more
puritanical than Americans."
Puritanical they may be —
but also prosperous, and most
visitors they meet are
especially interested in that
aspect of Swiss society.
"People are always asking
us about Swiss banks, about
insurance, about the prices in
Switzerland," says Heidi.
They reply that it's costly
for the Swiss as well as for
visitors. "It's very expensive
not only for tourists but for
us, too, because we have such
a high standard of living,"
says Freddy, who works in a
Swiss bank.
Despite prosperity, they say
there are also poor people in
Switzerland, including Jews.
"They're not so visible, but
they are there," says Heidi,
who's on the board of a Jewish
women's group which, among
its other activities, raises
money for needy local Jewish
families.
There are other problems,
too, in this peaceful and pro-
sperous country. The Jews
here worry about Switzer-
land's high intermarriage
rate — about 50 percent. Anti-
Semitism, though rare, does
exist, "as it does everywhere,"
says Freddy.
Despite the problems, they
say that Zurich is a very good
place to live a Jewish life. It's
the place they're happy to call
home.
They're happy to open their
own home to visitors as they
continue to serve as Jewish
ambassadors of good will in
the Meet the Swiss program.
"We decided to join the pro-
gram because we wanted to
practice our English and
meet new people," Heidi
recalls. "And it's been a very
interesting experience. We
love being part of it." ❑
