Grigory wrote eloquently to us, "It so happened that Jews were subjected to violence for more than 2,000 years: the Romans, the Crusades, the Inquisition and in the end was a fascist regime in Germany. Then there was the war for independence, which miraculously was won. A large number of young guys died in this fight and are dying now. That we had the opportunity to have our own house, to speak our own language and write these ancient letters. I'm against violence, I want the Jews and the Arabs to live side by side like brothers. But I can not forget my great-grandmothers, great-grandfathers who burned in gas chambers and my young friends who died for our freedom." He asked us for a tattoo design to preserve the memory of his history.
