Did you think of anything in the past that was simultaneouslypainful and, and...

Yeah, it was painful that uh, there was, that my parents weren'tat that occasion to see what eh, that, that we ??? to see what, what I had,went through and, and eh, have ch...family and children, grandchildren.

Anything you want to say, add to the, add to the tape thatmaybe you haven't said yet?

Anything to say, I?

Why, why well I'm interested in why you think it's importantto...

Yeah.

important to talk about this.

Eh, important to talk about it because at that age where we areit's a lot of our people dying out. If we won't leave any witnesses, I meanlike this taping or telling the story, they'll-that's going to be finishing.They'll, no...nobody in the world will know about it. But we have to bringit out what we went through that people will learn. But I guess people don'tlearn at all. Still going on wars and wars and killing. But that's only thingwhat we can do is just bring back, leave the memories what we went through.Otherwise we'll be wiped completely off. Least there will-there's a hope thateducation will give some of the people realize what could happen when youhate people, when you destroy people, like killing wars. But, that's whatwe hope, that, that people will learn something out of it.

Ok. Thank you very much.

Thank you.
