I Seek The Praise Of Ordinary Men by Robert M. Katzman
I wrote this attached poem on Friday, April 13, 2007, after interviewing Mike Hecht, the 88-year-old man who wrote the forward to my first book.
There was a line in the last part of my description of Mike that seemed to vibrate. I thought about what it meant, what I really was trying to express and that line became the title of the poem.
Maybe anti-Bush or people in the anti-war movement can make useof it. Just a thought,
The Titanic sunk yesterday, 95 years ago, and Pres. Lincoln was shot, 142 years ago. I hope we all have better days then all those unfortunate people.
Today, beginning last night, is Yom HaShoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day. Take a moment to think about it. Whether you are observant or not, whether you think about Judaism less than a minute a year, would have made no difference to Hitler. Who your grandparents or great-grandparents were, would be enough reason for the Nazis to kill you.
