However, if an American resident citizen would sponsor you, there was a chance.) "We have no future in Germany, we must get out before this mad man, Hitler, begins to do worse things to the Jews.” Looking on the envelope, they saw that there was no return address-- only the name, Alex Lurye, and the city and state, Duluth, Minnesota. While ruminating about the dark and dismal future for himself and his fellow Jews in Germany, he wasn't paying much attention to his eleven-year-old grandson, Sigbert, who was rummaging through his desk looking for something of interest. He was a stranger, a foreigner, even an enemy; yet because he was Jewish he was invited to another Jew's home, given a delicious warm kosher home cooked meal, complete with wine and accompanied by the traditional Shabbat songs. It meant so much to this young soldier that when he finally returned to Duluth, Minnesota, his home town, he took time out to sit down and write a letter to the German Jew who had touched his life with such kindness. Connection: this Friday is the “Fast of the Tenth of 10 Tevet.” It commemorates the onset of the siege outside the walls of Jerusalem that led to the destruction of the Holy Temple on the Ninth of Av. Herr Rosenau's family, together with his teenage daughter, gave the soldier the feeling that he was not alone, certainly not an enemy, even in such a far and distant land. So they wrote a letter addressed only as follows: ALEX LURYE DULUTH, MINNESOTA Can you send a letter to a person in a large city without a street address and expect it to be delivered? Because of their kindness, without any thought of personal gain, Herr Rosenau and his family were spared from the horrible fate of their fellow German Jews. And they sprouted and grew--a family blessed with many children and grandchildren and great-grand-children (as of the first writing of this report in 1997). Seeing the beauty of a traditional Shabbat together with the warmth and kindness of this German-Jewish family made a deep impression on this young soldier.
