What do the three inspiring men mentioned in this post’s title have in common? Their immense talent, to begin with, mixed with their humanity, along with their moving LOVE for their birth countries, Algeria (Mr. Bruel and Mr. Macias) and Lebanon respectively (Dr. Saad). In addition to the above, they all also happen to be of Jewish ancestry.
Just because a piece of their identity is Jewish, after their families escaped war atrocities, they could not return to visit their places of birth. Sadly, they cannot show their families where they were born. As for their numerous fans there, they cannot even dream of meeting them in person. How sad. How absurd. How unfair for all.
This being said, Bambi was happy to learn today about Mr. Bruel’s recent trip to Algeria where people were very welcoming and sweet with him and with his mom. It seems that, after over 60 years abroad, they received an official invitation by the Algerian government to return for a visit, perhaps as a gesture of openness toward France?
When will Mr. Enrico Macias’ family also be able to visit his beloved Algeria, wondered the journalist in the short YouTube interview below?
In the same spirit, will Canada’s Dr. Gad Saad return to visit his cherished Lebanon of origin one day, if he wishes?
