You have how many children now?
I have three.
What are your hopes for them and for their future? What do you wish for them if you could...
Not to go through what I went through. That's so bad. ??? Not to happen this no more, I hope. I hope not to happen this no more. This is terrible to go through what I went through six years because I'm a Jew.
Are you a religious person today? Are you very religious?
I don't believe it because my family was so religious. And I said how they can do this to them? Why? Because just I'm a Jew? Why? What's the--why? My mother, my sister, why? What the reason they got to do. Why didn't God do that miracle? Why? Why?
