Thank you, Claud, for your translation. I visit the small and large cities of France, Germany, and Switzerland searching for old textiles, and I have many friends in France. I have great respect for the tremendous beauty and heritage of your unique civilization. But I cannot deny that when I cross into Germany I see hundreds of small prosperous towns with people happily working, the streets clean, and the workers very polite and helpful. There are, across the border,beautiful small shops such as France had 50 years ago in every small town, teeming with life, and with a civil, courteous population. It is a sad contrast to France with so many shuttered towns, closed cafes, rude waiters, and lifeless streets in many towns. In France the ordinary workers...bus drivers, shop clerks, waiters and waitresses, seem angry and miserable. No doubt there are complex social reasons for this decline of society which I am not in a position to judge. But as someone who first saw France as a student at the Sorbonne in 1963,(The worst winter in history), my heart aches for the « old » France, for the exquisite refinement that used to characterize the pearl of European civilization.

(Any, yes, in ’63 the people still remembered Americans and English as liberators who lost their sons and fathers so France could be « free »...I was met kindly by one and all !)

Do the young today know they would be speaking German today if we had not liberated them ? Or do they care ?
