You were brought up Bund? I had some contact with the local Bundists here some 
years ago when they were trying to restore the youth camp that their parents 
built when they first came to Australia. They still owned the land but it had 
fallen into disuse and they wanted to revive it for their own children. They're 
still out there, quietly in the background, suggesting that Zionism might not 
be such a good idea...
Love the shirt. One at University I was required to give a tutorial on Marxist 
Literary Analysis. Instead of Lukacs, etc., I began by discussing a (genuine) 
correspondence between Groucho and T.S. Eliot. The other students looked a bit 
puzzled before the joke became obvious but the tutor thought it was pretty 
funny.
