10:27 am
bill coffee. so i was invited to berlin again to do readings, signed and not diesel. deeper. i noticed how silent these young people. uh, you only mention the school students this into and how as soon as i started to speak, they wanted to know is it what's next? best, what's next? what is this woman's life the funds these up? what did she lives through the end? it wasn't, and i always said it to you so that we live through never happens again. that's who will best you. that machine go best to be a leap top, but i don't blame many of you. of a dish. people if i initially then because we can't forget to sit in those use, the parents and grandparents with cheering is told on was it?
10:28 am
of course i knew that you be top spot me good. here i was speaking to the 3rd or 4th generation who had nothing to do with it to own. denise stopped me to tune that . the readings have become too exhausting for her. so friedlander has started using a video recording said use and that's not good. it is. we left the company honish tasa in a truck, out of berlin, spending the tool will show us the doors closed behind us for this. and from that moment on everything passed me by like a nightmare you immediately forgot as soon as you wake up, but which still leaves an indelible tyra behind on the port steam, i'm going to our solution just to shrink it. that is, mine is the unit furnished in my new co, but my so was not in my body in this truck, on its way to, to raise the interest that was really easy. instead was like a large scale study,
10:29 am
an experiment. and i know it's one question, rules our lives, these, how much kind of person take, pacey and stuff easy, instead was an in between place nation i, the life, know dest about the, to the death, waited for us in the camps, in the east, to, in the get towed there was hung up cells and cramped conditions and it was everyone set themselves a hi loan to the some she minus see some close to this the and it was difficult for me to, to allow those things in and a everyone existed in a kind of isolation hooked up to hazy and stat was of that q 5 cool, a place devoid of and light or do without time insight? honestly, 6 of us. after the readings, the young people are curious to know more. each have is the shaft. i made it
10:30 am
except i feel like i can do something for those who didn't make who can't dismiss dish of time. i have a duty to speak for those who can no longer speak english mesh. question could you would like to tell you that we won't forget you and that we will pass everything we've learned onto the next generation desk if your cost escape bill that gives me strength. so strength to do this because you are listening to me. but because i believe that my was being heard, well, of course this class got paid as a see sure what i'm telling you might not get through to all of you, but you can reach 2 or 3 or 4 of you. i've achieved something. then i'll be stress of ice because it's for you. then what can i do after all?
10:31 am
nothing. i don't have any children. i need to this. you will have children, families, emilia, be smotts. i make a good life feel so thankful to none things. now the quote, because knowledge really is every single piece of this lilia within lovely name. oh, the best time to binge and have you, strangers have been good to me. i'm diminishing strangers. who had nothing to do with me in my life and lead me to not the death of miss pick, guess i'll never forget that year and 3 months, i know not. i spent getting to know people in berlin came who had done something extraordinary between the demos at 1st, aton hopper. i'll never forget that i was head cuz that's how i actually discovered

10:33 am
this i have to be of was who someone writes, the surely we didn't know how bad it was back then all those you've made me see so much more clearly, hollis few best there for each day. people have written lessons like that is in, in believes that sometimes the same to the interesting thing is how they suddenly really learn. what was going on last bod, manage the other cost to the model, the cost survivor margot to friedlander is $1.00 of 10 berliners. the tool guide is now offering and modeled friedlander to keep that one's gone. all 664. 66 is berlin was little more than a memory for ma, godfrey,
10:34 am
bland. the plays denazi's once took her prisoner up to we'd have to hold the cost the cost of the month, but friedlander was awarded to the standing. the dictation in germany awarded only the very citizenship, the highest escalated the state of berlin. both were persecuted by the nazi regime and eaten by both linens for years and both are still active today. they remind us of the atrocities and criticize anti semitism and racism on process. hitler. good. the good thing and good was. well, also honorary citizens hoyde to they ton in the graves. now, if they had graves to do then and you do choose who they didn't consider a human not to mention other times who they wanted to kill you own and almost managed to own just in test google today, a jewish woman who to even has become honorary citizens,
10:35 am
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 and 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.

10:38 am
and you'll work with children and young people. you have done a lot of good for our cities, benoit, monterey. we citizenship is the highest accolade we can award here in berlin. and that's why i'm very happy about something you said recently in conversation with school students. when you visited us in the house. i'm a troop atlanta, and i love my city. isn't even mine and stuff i live on the big loose fallen off by the community that associates does. it's to visit no media here. v as in v here no being the big d as in tv and the 2019 cleveland became patron of article one of the german constitution, the glen because that everyone has the right to express their opinion, whether it's gender, nation,
