Stood with head bowed at grave sides, appreciated the beauty of the countryside and the cities. Now I am frightened to listen to the radio and worse still, watch the television. Just now I did watch a report about the wonderful neurosurgeon Henry Marsh and his colleague David Nott deliver online advice to 200 Ukrainian doctors and surgeons

In happier times, in what seems like another age, Henry Marsh and a visiting Ukrainian neurosurgeon atttended the annual fundraising concert in London that we used to hold to support the Jewish community in Lviv. Then we worried about raising enough funds to run the school, pay the salaries and feed the children. Now we just beg NATO to keep Ukrainians alive.
