Shout at YOU, Cornell? Never. Your theories on how Artur's grandmother's
house might have changed ownership since 1945 could have as much credence
as his implications about those real estate transactions. Unless any of us
were present when the ownership changed hands, or can present supporting
documents, our theories can only be conjecture; and that is certainly not
worth shouting over.
But you must admit it was a good story.

This will probably get me shouted at..but!! A lot of these properties
were simply abandoned by Jews who left the Soviet paradise and went over the
nearest border,legally or otherwise. Just exactly what were the local
population supposed to do..leave them empty and decaying until the previous
inhabitants reappeared some 40 or 70 years later?? Also there is the not so
minor fact that a lot of these places were not owned outright but rented,often
from other Jews who also left. Yes,there were commercial properties seized
by the Russians,as were community-owned buildings,and these latter items
is what should be covered by restitution....which will only become likely if
the Ukraine ever joins the EU. Cornel
