I was also there
I
was 8 years old when
my mother and I moved
to another country. We
lived well until 1939.
The war came ... I played
together with other children in
the yard. My mother looked
after us. At one point, we
heard cars approaching. The
men in uniform came out with
rifles in their hands. I saw
them shoot my mother and
friends. The only one I
managed to hide behind a pile
of stones. They did not notice
me. They drove off. I cried. I
ran to my mother and tried to
wake her up. She did not react.
I heard that shots are being
fired somewhere. I escaped to
the same place where I was
just a moment ago. I sat there
32
a day, maybe two, until I was
hungry. I ran for a long time
and came to the village, which
my mother once told me. I
walked along the streets and
saw terrible views. All dead
people, animals. Bloodstains
on buildings. I was very
hungry. I was looking for food
wherever it was possible. I
found. I ate with tears in my
eyes. That's how I survived the
next 6 years. I met people who
helped me. Some died for me.
It did not matter what skin
color we have or what sex we
have. Everyone helped each
other as much as he could. I
met many honorable people
then and I remember them
with great pride.
