Abstract

O Little Town ... (Restricted)

The article presents experiences of the author on his visit to the town of Litchfield, Connecticut. According to the author, wreaths on doors of old white houses, wine-glass elms curving above quiet streets, snow caught on carved gateposts, in winter Litchfield looks like a village on a Christmas card. It is beautiful in summer, too. But on Christmas Eve, with candles behind fanlights on North Street, it is a lovely picture of Christmas peace. There was no railroad and no movies, but there had been an inn where travelers could spend the night. Now it was not there. Finally the author discovered the comfortable house, which took tourists and the restaurant that furnished meals. A conversation in the house reminded him of something that he had heard or read, "They don't let Jews live in this town."
