Back To Berlin
A Jewish student from Germany ends a
happy year in America.
MARA REINSTEIN JEWISH NEWS INTERN
A
year ago, if Amir Schulz
had been asked what he
knew about America, he
probably would have said
in broken English that Los Ange-
les is warm.
Today, the only distinguishing
feature separating Amir from any
other American teen-ager is his
German accent.
Amir, 17, has just finished a
year as a foreign exchange stu-
dent living with Judy and Jack
Nolish and their children, Rachel,
17, and Jeff, 15, in Huntington
Woods. And even though he is
leaving the Detroit area, Amir
says he will never forget the ex-
perience.
"It was really incredible," he
says. "I feel like I have a second
home here."
Amir's first home is in Berlin
(formerly West Berlin), Germany,
where he lives in an apartment
building in the city with his father,
Ali; mother, Isa; sister, Jael; and
brother, Jaron. West German life
is OK, says Amir. He enjoys play-
ing billiards and seeing American
movies (dubbed in German), and
he is a member of B'nai B'rith
Youth Organization (BBYO).
There is, however, one impor-
tant aspect of German life that
Amir cannot control and finds
nearly impossible to manage.
"I wasn't comfortable as a Jew
in Germany," says Amir. "I didn't
like the way you had to keep it a
secret. People called me 'a dirty
Jew.' You had to wait a long time
to tell friends that you're Jewish
because there are a lot of people
who still believe in the old ways."
Swastikas, Amir adds, are an
everyday sight. "You still see
them," he says, "although it's
much more common in (the for-
mer) East Berlin than in (the for-
mer) West Berlin, where I live."
The idea to experience Jewish
life outside Germany was first pre-
sented to Amir by a family friend,
Baila. She said that he needed to
clear his mind, get focused and
think about his future. And the
only way to accomplish this was
either to live in Israel with his
grandparents and members of his
extended family or travel to Amer-
ica where he didn't know anybody.
Limited openings available. For information contact Dr. Jerome S.
Kaufman, Chairman, Scholar-in-Residence Committee, (810) 626-7161.
The program is a project of the American Zionist Movement
in cooperation with the Information Dept. World Zionist Organization.
