Dear Rhonda:
I was fascinated by your article on the old Zürich synagogue, and the background story of the Zürich Jews.
I lived in Zürich from 1961 until 1967, whilst studying chemical engineering at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology.
The “Altstadt” was my favourite place to visit because I could forage in the old bookshops…
I know EXACTLY where you were, and I could kick myself for not ever having delved deeper into the story of what lay before my eyes! Therein lies the difference between a chemist and a journalist! LOL
Well… As long as we are sharp and investigate chemical processes, I guess that it is OK!
A big hug from Buenos Aires,
Steve Goldschmidt
