“It was a harsh, abrupt farewell - not only from the family but from
everything that was important to me in my life. My world - all that I
knew to that point - simply ceased to exist. The train pulling out of
the station meant the end of my life, my childhood. My early youth
was over, never to return.”
(Ari Rath in „A Life of Many Lives“)
“And then they gave us a barrel on wheels and these buckets. And
that’s what we used to empty the cesspool, which was used by 12 kids
and was filled with everything normally found in a cesspool. And that
was my first manual labor. In the Holy Land.”
(Ari Rath in „A Life of Many Lives“)
“Things have come full circle. I feel no strong emotions, but it was
a
very important chapter in my life. The years at the Jerusalem Post left
a deep impression on me, and somehow I left my mark on the Jerusalem
Post too, making it more liberal and open-minded.
(Ari Rath in „A Life of Many Lives“)
“I am very pleased and proud to have been graced with this right,
and to
have gone from a privileged Viennese boy from an upper-middle-class
family to a true pioneer who built up this country with his own two hands.
I did hard physical labor for 16 years and I’m very proud of that.”
(Ari Rath in „A Life of Many Lives“)
