Meeting Friend in Camp
She is--put the name in here.
??? ???. And the telephone number, well the telephone number...
Okay, so the story?
Pardon. So, she--we were with, in several camps together 'til the death march. She ran away and she didn't know. She--some of them were liberated, some were shot. But she happened to get into a Polish uh, for...uh, forced labor camp. They were just taken away for forced labor. They were not meant to be killed. Some of them died, but not like us. We had no right to live. We were--our world there it was all dead. It just happened by miraculously that some of us have survived. Like from thousand five hundred, we were a hundred and twenty survivors. My sister was not among--like, I got a message after--no, just the telephone, right? So you call and tell it to me.
Everybody has their own story...
Yeah, I know everybody...
...and...
And my sister has a different story, different places, different way of surviving. And I could say you had like interviews from an hour and a half to eight hours, six hours. How many hours have we been--not too long...
Three. I'm going to uh, I'm going to send you these tapes.
Yeah. What is this a charge? How do you operate?
I operate for free.
On a voluntary basis, yeah.
For free. For you...
Free.
...for free, right. We make, we make copies for, for the center, for Yad Vashem...
Oh, Yad Vashem...
