We may have lost sight of why we created the State of Israel. This memoir should serve as a timely reminder.

 The Ostbahnhof (Eastern Railway Station) in Vienna, built between 1867 and 1870, was replaced by a new Südbahnhof in 1955, which in turn was demolished in 2009 and replaced by the Hauptbahnhof (Main Railway Station). Painting based on a photograph by Ellen Harvey: ‘The Disappointed Tourist.’
