ABSTRACT
Nahum Barne'a, born in 1944, is a prominent Israeli journalist. He visited there twice, on journalistic missions, each time only for a few hours, coming over from West. He loved the observation turrets and the soldiers of the Russian Occupation Army which strolled along it as if it were their own. His eyes could not have enough of reviewing again and again the ruins of the bastions of power of the Nazi regime: the isolated Reichstag building, the blocked Brandenburg Gate, the ruined buildings-indeed, whole streets-on the Eastern side. He heard Elie Wiesel protesting on Israeli television against German reunification, and he was with him. Since the reparation agreements between Israel and Germany, Israel and the Jewish establishment work under the assumption that we have established a permanent stronghold in the realm of the German conscience. The horrible failure of the Nazi adventure forced the Germans to assume an air of humility.
