Newspaper Interview
Yeah. Can we talk for a moment about the papers that um, you wanted to show me?
Mm-hmm.
Can you explain for the purposes of the interview...
You mean these papers?
Yeah.
This was an article that was written by uh, I think it was uh, a writer, you know, his name is John Connelly. He used to write the East Side Shelter at the time. I don't know if the paper is still out. But anyway, it was about a brotherhood--it must have been a brotherhood week--and he wrote the article about the people where I was hiding, and they took a picture, and it explained uh, you know, what they took here, a little Jewish girl and they were hiding her and uh, more or less the whole story and about the underground and everything and their names and everything and there's a picture of um, my husband and my son and myself.
Were you interviewed for that article?
Uh, yeah. The man came--of course, you know, we were just here about a year or so um, even though our English was not bad, but I guess maybe at the time I really didn't realize exactly what, what he was doing until my son just brought these back from California. He made copy, I guess. Gladys must have kept the uh, the paper. And so it explains everything, you know, about when I went to them after they picked up my mother, my parents and uh, when they went in the underground, and Miss--Madam Maréchal and their name and everything, so it was a very, very well read article. Very well read. You know, I mean written.
