Then, on May 4, National Guard troops opened fire on students protesting at KentState University in Ohio. Four students were killed. The photograph of a young woman kneeling over the body of a dead student represented all that I and many others feared andhated about what was happening in our country. I remember rushing out the door of thelaw school in tears and running into Professor Fritz Kessler, a refugee who fled Hitler's Germany. He asked me what the matter was and I told him I couldni't believe what washappening; he chilled me by saying that, for him, it was all too familiar.
然后,5月4日,国民警卫队向在俄亥俄州肯特州立大学抗议的学生开火。四名学生遇难。一张年轻女子跪在一名死去学生尸体前的照片,代表了我和许多人对我们国家正在发生的事情的恐惧和憎恨。我记得我哭着冲出法学院的大门肯特州立大学,遇到了弗里茨·凯斯勒教授,他是一个逃离希特勒统治下的德国的难民。他问我发生了什么事,我告诉他我不相信发生了什么事。他说肯特州立大学,对他来说,这一切都太熟悉了,这让我感到寒心。
