Fate of Family
You did terrific. Thank you. Is there anything that you want to add or anything that you remember that you—we missed over? Or there's just so much...
You know, if I missed, I missed more than I told you. It's too much. Uh, lost—I don't know. I didn't tell, I didn't tell you how many people we lost in the family. Three of us survived out of the whole family. One brother, one sister and myself. Uh, thousands—hundreds of relatives—never seen 'em. My mother was only forty-four years old when she was killed. My father was two years younger, forty-two. Uh, I really don't know why I survived, I really don't know. I don't know if it was cunning or it was uh, the, the desolate—the loneliness, "If I run, if I look maybe I'll find somebody," uh. Or I was so small—I was so young and I was so insignificant that I wasn't noticed. I don't know what, what exactly it is.
