Timely Encounter

Just minutes after I wrote the previous blog, I walked out the door of our room and headed across the campground. I passed a woman who had arrived for the next event; she was wearing a Star of David necklace. I paused to ask her about her necklace. She told me that she lives in Łódż, a city where, before the War, a large Jewish community thrived. In 1968 when the remaining Jews were forced out of Poland, she lost many of her Jewish friends. She missed them desperately. Now she prays to God that He will use her however He desires on behalf of the Jewish people. She is thankful that some Jews have returned to Łódż and she again has a few Jewish friends.
So ... my question was answered quite swiftly. Were there Poles who missed the Jewish people?
Yes ... in Łódż, and doubtless in countless towns and villages throughout Poland. I am encouraged.
