DO NOT BLAME ZIS CHOIMANYA Poem by Salvatore ButtaciThe sins of the past too often, and often undeservedly, are visited on the present.
Vot heppent in ze 1940s in Choimany Cannot be blamed on ze Choimans today. Ze past remains a sing of ze past Und to tink it voot be joost To accuse a nation ov a crime Committed in ze past voot be unfair. Adolf Hitler hes given our nation A bed name, but he iss kvite dead, He und hiss sins zumvere in hell. If Ze Nazi medmen still march, Zey do so only in nightmares Ov ze fery old who hef survived zem.
