I still would like to show you where I was born and took my first steps and where during the war...

You survived. It's all reality. Don’t worry…

The Jews is always waiting for troubles in every country…

But when they told us we were free to go, this was the best day of my life.

I can't even make any sense out of my relationship with my father...how am I supposed to make any sense out of Auschwitz?..of the Holocaust?

There was many such miracles, but also much good luck, and for this is also important.

The cleaning lady threw out the bloody sheets and months later you came to my class and did a little talk about the camps.

So now I work really to the last moment. The only trip where nobody gives me water or food, and we couldn’t rest, was to Auschwitz.

He’d die of shock right now if you told him that it’s common knowledge that everybody’s supposed to get an allowance - to have money for their own needs.

There is so much I’d like to tell you…
