Joseph Gringlas - January 22, 1993

And is there anything you just wanted to add about it that-abouttelling the story? Do you think it's important that you tell the story?

I guess right eh, now the way things are, we're getting old.It's very important. Because we are the last witnesses to the Holocaust. Andif we're not going to tell the story it's going to fade out and it's goingto disappear. And it's very important to tell and we've never forget aboutit. If we forget it then it might repeat. Hopefully that-but it looks likethe world is so in wars now that it doesn't. People don't learn at all fromwar. We thought after last war this, this is going to be it. This is it. They'll-nowar, all peace. I guess people in what's going on in Yugoslavia and, and killingpeople and this cleansing. It's, it's still in those, there's still a lotin this, in this world people which don't learn to live together with otherpeople.

It's terrible.

It's terrible. It's-'cause I hope, hope so that someday ??? butso far it's going do ages and ages and never learn.

You think that's what people should learn from an examinationof the Holocaust. Studying your experience.

Yeah, the experience, that uh, you have to live with people.You can't-and you can't liquidate another gen...another even if they're differentreligious and they're not what you are, but you have to learn to live together.Otherwise you can destroy each other if, if you don't live together.

That's a good place to stop. Thank you.

Ok.
