POETIC INJUSTICE
“I adored the stage,” said Bubbe Gittel of her time in the Moscow State Jewish Theater. “I had a crush on the director, Shlomo Mikhoels. A gifted poet.”
I switched off the TV. My grandmother’s stories beat summer reruns.
“During the war Mr. Stalin kept us safe from Hitler and made Shlomo the head of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee.”
Bubbe’s smile faded. “The war ended and with it, Stalin’s favor.”
“They called it an accident, but I saw it with my own eyes. A KGB monster shoved Shlomo in the path of a speeding truck.”
“Why, Bubbe?”
“Need you ask?”
Shlomo or Solomon Mikhoels

Hitler and Stalin were both monsters.

Times change, morality changes. There was a time when this was for the better, but that time is over, and has been for some while, I think. Well done.
