Between Treetops and Clouds

Between the route of the marathon race of the unified Berlin, to a remote village on the shore of a mountain lake near the Macedonia-Albania border, between the streets of the city of Chernivtsi (Czernowitz) in southern Ukraine, that knew fateful border games, to the ghetto next to the central bus station in the heart of the first Hebrew city, where a “Tower of Babel” of immigrants, refugees and exiles without a country pulsates—there among all these hovers a happening ‘between the peaks and the clouds.’ The author wanders these spaces following a random incident he experienced in a Berlin restaurant that revived in him his forgotten and repressed mother tongue—German.
