berlin was little more than a memory for my godfrey glenda. the place denazi's once took her prisoner and up to we'd have to hold. the cost is probably close to $5.00 a month, but friedlander was awarded to the outstanding dictation in germany. awarded only very citizenship. the highest escalated, the state of berlin boats were persecuted by the nazi regime and hidden by the linens for years and both is still active. today. they remind us of the atrocities and criticize anti semitism and racism. one process typically is good. the good thing and good because we're also on a very citizens or 2, they turn in the graves. now, if they had graves to do then and you do choose who they didn't consider a human, it's mention other times who they wanted to kill and almost managed to own just in
6:35 am
fast the little today, a jewish woman who to even has become honorary citizens. so that's fine. with her honorary citizenship. friedlander is now among the great names and berlin's history. her portrait will now hang in the gallery of eminent figures in berlin's house of representatives. the presidents of the berlin house of representatives house these on shows her how different and varied the portraits are the very different style here and that one of the twist denture is almost realistic. human schmidt with his ever present cigarettes and the snuff tobacco. he always used g. and look at that style.

6:50 am
stink of my describe. i should cause guy sometimes think about what i might have done in life is gone, is that i can't imagine it. you put a plus b s. stay at the house is probably a dressmaker. space. i don't know if i had a frenzy. i was very young when hitler came to power. com. and so it just wasn't an option anymore. just got to got a smear. we had to grow up too quickly calling to see if you have bucks the whole per diem still until 19 associates to occur until the cust on the we tried to more or less have a life. i mean, i, you got minus the so as a if i see it was too short be those young is 18.
6:51 am
24 is when you meet someone and start dating that you my kids out. put those years were missing configured. he's not real frivolous. c, fluid is guy or them. how should i put it in to have time regret not having that, just like golf and i was always some fishing this me because guy he met us. let's have a look. and he told the 1st of this household that the house folk type plots where the monument is here. that's it is with philip play being used to do, his dress may can be cited her questionnaire. i see. so i

6:53 am
the right. yeah. the photographer, i'm a ts siegler portrait, so free lender for a photo book for her 100 birthday locations that played an important role in her life. like here at house, full time slots for her parents shop with the the presents or as a modern woman who has grown from her difficult fast. the
6:54 am

6:56 am
the, the change it tight. so the weaknesses of that era, a go know you have the new ways of remembering the show must be found, especially when racism and anti semitism are emerging once again in society. here in germany, there to appear in duration of the politicians as society. we can and we should all work to look back to reflect us, to remember, and to think about the future. we have
6:57 am
a huge responsibility to do our best here when we follow this call to your memory. and i very much hope, mrs. friedlander that we will be worthy of your legacy to feelings information the last time you kind of flushed daniel, i don't imagine much will be left after i've passed away up leave life. great people have done things. but what i do is very, very little about my tool and this is done well. see, i see how does a as to nice may be the current generation listening to me in schools will talk about it to the children. yeah. and kid done at the side, we'll see how far it will go. i have no idea what is tied because so many people keep saying they don't want to talk about this anymore. stable definitely by dish
