Warszawa - Visit to Mrs. Lydia Grosz

Mrs. Grosz: "You know, Mr. Baródin, the Germans have remained a mystery to me. They are educated and hardworking, produced a Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Goethe, Schiller and Lessing, but they did not understand Faust, the Glocke or Nathan. Take the ring parabola in Nathan. It is a legacy to tolerance and justice and thus to the salvation of human dignity.
Here comes the punch line with the question: Who is right? Nathan says the right ring cannot be demonstrated, as inexplicable as the right belief is from the supposedly wrong. The father had the copies made with the intention that the rings would not be distinguishable. That is the lesson we have to learn from Nathan: to be educated and mature for tolerance and generosity. The hubris of the Nazis failed, as if there were only Germans who had a culture and the right "faith". "
Now the new chapter of our people is to be written. That is why you are here to contribute to understanding and reconciliation with the Brahms Concerto. "
On his second visit, Mrs. Grosz reads from her new book: Nowe wiersze na dawne tematy / New poems on old topics. She justified the reading by saying that she, too, wanted to make her contribution to the reconciliation of the Polish and German people. Because nothing is more necessary for the peoples in general and these two peoples in particular than understanding and comprehensive reconciliation for a lasting peace in the coexistence of people, both externally and internally, which includes the creative in science and the arts.
