I was reading the account of the holocaust by Livia Bitton Jackson

In an early chapter, she talks about living in Hungary when the Nazis invaded and that they took away her bicycle. A horrible event having it been a great wish to have one and she had not even yet ridden one.
Yet today, I read accounts of the Satmar Jewish communities in New York and who knows where else that they are forbidding our children to even own a bicycle today.
Where have we come in 70 years?
