a few words of to receiving this document support and i think was of sikes are expected of up to one voltage just i'm guess the condition i can't do that didn't do you know because you have simply returned what belonged to me in the 1st place, that's when it was taken away from me many decades ago, almost back then they left the roots of a young sapp claims to dry out of us. and if we knew, i haven't come back to germany. i've come to my friends or you good. thank you. oh, [000:00:00;00] the check. but i'm also not asked if i miss america. be sure to help me. i

don't to, to have been people versed a few jobs. i know i was in america so many years is you just concerns me see, but i don't really feel like i live in the for 64 years. of port to southern friends say to me is it feels like you were here the whole time of this for mission. i have that same strange feeling. i'm totally here. been to college here. one of her greatest objectives is to tell her story to young people in schools, church communities at adult education centers. my visa for the book i use for readings, since this is what it looks like now. here you can see the stuff you have and locked in. the status of ads is $12000.00. no,

i received the 900 prize for the book in 2009 for best autobiography based out to be oak of p. so i was invited to berlin again to do readings. assign cannot these on deeper, i noticed how silent these young people uh, you'll know, mentioned the school students do the same thing and how as soon as i started to speak, they wanted to know, yes and is it what's next to us? what's next? what is this woman's life, the fundies of? 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 of us you that machine go best to be a leap top. but i don't blame many of you have a dish people if i knew shortly, then because we can't forget to sit in those use,

the parents and grandparents with cheering is told on who was it? 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 too on the new stuff. me to tune that the readings have become too exhausting for her. so friedlander has started using a video recording decent, that's not good. it is we left the company honish tasa in a truck out of berlin, spending the tool will show us and the doors closed behind us for days and weeks from that moment on. everything passed me by like a nightmare. you immediately forgot as soon as you wake up, which still leaves an indelible tyra behind. on to taught steam, i'm going to us an ocean to shrink it. that is, mine is the lead by miss devine and co, but my soul was not in my body in this truck,

on its way to test lazy and stuff that cause easy instead was like a large scale study, an experiment. and i know one question rules. our lives, these, how much can a person take, pacey and stuff easy instead was an in between place. you can either life, no desk about the, to the desk, 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 loan for some she minus see some close to this new. and it was difficult for me to, to allow those things. and everyone existed in a kind of isolation hooked up to the easy and stat was of that q 5. cool, a place devoid of and light or without time insight? honestly, 6. uh huh. after the readings,

the young people are curious to know more is have is the shop. i made it except i feel like i can do something for those who didn't make who team 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 is keep 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 quote this flask of pay, that's a see sure. what i'm telling you might not get through to all of you, but you can reach to for 3 or 4 of you. i've achieved something. then i'll be

specify because it's for you. then what can i do after all? nothing. i don't have any children. i need attendance, 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 mister pick. guess i'll never forget that year and 3 months 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 always had cuz that's how i actually discovered for true human, assuming she was, i can get it out. i wish and i'd like to give some of that back. the . it's been news for like governors. maybe i don't really realize is also really i do see i've done a lot of it and all the dunc samples, and when i look in this folder, i see all the woods sanks in the email for the downside of the reasons and hundreds and hundreds of the one doing that then not for nothing. oh this for this they are

all expressions of gratitude, junk so so yes i have to be of was who someone writes the surely we didn't know how bad it was back then the doors you've made me see. so much more clearly, hollis few best they're forced day. people have written lessons like that is in, in believe some stuff i'm title. but same to the interesting thing is how they suddenly really learn what was going on. bestbuy. the other costs you believe in the model. the cost survivor mar, godfrey lender is $1.00 of 10 berliners. the tool guide is now offering a ma god friedlander to keep that one's gone. all 606 will be so 66 years. berlin was little more than

a memory for ma godfrey glenda. the place denazi's once took her prisoner up to we'd have to walk through hollow cost, it's only close to $5.00 a month. but friedlander was awarded to the standing dedication in germany, awarded only re citizenship, the highest escalate of the state of berlin. boats were persecuted by the nazi regime and hidden by the linens for years and both are still active. holly daisy owns as they remind us of the atrocities and criticized anti semitism and racism. one process typically is good. the good thing and good because we're also on a very citizens or do they turn 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 the tests 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 that's on the way. if we don't have 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 use each g and look at that style. the uh, the astronauts. lots of deals the so yes, there's a list of honorary citizens from east gemini. this is of sigmund, yeah. and, and valerie, because ski so that's a look for land artist stephanie found targets is working on a number of sketches for the official portrait. yeah, it's just ok showing it 1st but you the i is a bit more complete. the fresh the sketched. uh i a push i'm going to, oh god. so this is that just be on the coat. it's my gods image hoc. when michael asked me if i would paint

a portrait for the house of representatives of the house line. so i went this from the trinity. so 1st i was overwhelmed just i'm surprised by because margaret put so much trust in me and for how long cushion kept you can't say no to that woman. it's 9 that i can come. it is, it is here being mama mission here being one is b as in period. gabriel. g, a minus the fund confessing, cobbling so you need to go on the high to hear this needs to be the end of your time uses friedlander. thank you for deciding to live among us again with your work for democratic values,

your contribution towards keeping memories, the live, and your work with children and young people. you have done a lot of good for our city, monterey. we citizenship is the highest accolade we can award here in berlin. 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 true belinda, and i love my city. you can even mine instead of all in the big loose fallen off. i think the da sophie's does, it's to visit know, being near him, being d as in be here. knowing the being to use in tv and the 2019 cleveland became patriot of article one of the german constitution, the glen because that everyone has the right to express

their opinion. whether it's gender, nation, or background of faith, no one should be deprived or favorite human dignity is involved in a level human dignity is one environmental, the one that does so i'm very happy that use my good friedlander someone who reminds us why the constitution came to be, are accepting this, tell us man, today in the spirit of diversity and difference, you busy teach and keep unimpressed. successful ceremony was held by the german integration foundation to mark the 70 at the anniversary of the constitution. even bonus alongside chancellor america was holocaust survivor mar. godfrey lender. she received an award for outstanding integration work miracle things for the 97 year old who has been telling the story of her life under the nazi regime in schools for

years. she also became patriot of article one of the constitution. human dignity is inviolable. the dimension is on, i'm tough about spend that to a leash and no, i'm very touched. of course. i don't really know what to say. bessie sat and so chipped from my notes and i did write to speech, could see that 1st of all, i just like to say move sign key, visit to these them as a me it's incredible just to experience this desk to and the she wrote the book of interviews each to s voice i do it for you. together with the

anti semitism representative of the state of north finalist failure, sabina lloyd toys ashen off in baccha. it's also meant as a warning to people to learn the lessons of history a to z me too small as you should, you should desk i its anti semitism is not the only thing mainstream. direct games to this people in or that obviously know whether it's dues or foreigners, can both people with other opinions that just they want everyone to be like them. that's v d 's in the fields. so now the people in the more tv it you'll know mentioned outside. so again, as a witness evolve as a person with a mission. margot friedlander motivates young people and stuff she puts her heart into it. she's very authentic as a z. and i think all of that makes her a great supporter of prevention,

which is the most important thing when it comes to dealing with and addressing anti semitism in getting on to me to some of the 50 states. the doctors doesn't shmarkus in the can. catherine fine, because i have my cluster around me every day in some food. yeah. and i'm dealing with those so closely. i feel like i'm always with her and then click the button. yep. and it's fun. yeah. northern new smyrna please. it wasn't possible for her to come here to the studio because of this, the change struck baccha on and, and will i have to add to this building, design and stress? the number 17. it's a very poignant place. and guns. bizarre look out is by because this was her

last hiding place to feel before she was taken to to raise the inch dense and stuff come on. this is in the frugal i did wish, and that was the site to clean way. springs me to use it when i climb these full flows overnight into the stairwell here. i think of mock on each step kind of a history thing cuz i lot of i'm younger sister is what she experienced to was the wonderful complaint family. i deb hung up on for me and your company you went. she couldn't remember which floor she lived on and they tried it. tasha think

a couple one tucked away so you had thought she has a postcard. she sent to the come please from theresa instead. come please of tiffany is interested to fix that cuz i saw it. well, she showed it to me. when it's said vent. come play a family, focus on in straw. so 72nd floor by to talk. i see. so she was on the 2nd floor, 2 floors below me. all right, slash talk back. when time. yeah, absolutely. and you shall give a lot. that's what i looked like for a long time. quotes. yeah, there i am with my cross that's. that was when i was in hiding with dell

the kind of the shift is it so, but i don't have that time visit macs once or twice every summer. that window showing his house. he has a beautiful house right on the roof, tessa and moved towards agnes. and a little note about, on that boy, i usually bring something with me, mid profit chickens, or a whole one, depending on how many people of that comfortable mazda come. and he brings coffee and cake to the garden. and then we get into the boat for an hour or so of the

board that though if i'm even allowed to drive it to sport fun, i love doing that to michigan most of the restaurant and i'm, i'm to, we go as far as pope stem onto the bridges, i don't to lake funds a while. we looked at the sailing booths and other boats of buttons the on whose to see good board to and on the board in spring 2020. when the corona virus pandemic brought public life in germany to a standstill, friedlander had to slow down too. but at $99.00, she was online to present the ma got to friedlander award, which is bestowed on school projects that keep a live the memory of the nazi era terrors as it is a as in depth. so we're all sitting in very different constellations in front of our screens in so many places. and some of you are together. some of you are alone

this time outgoing chancellor. ongoing america will give the speech in honor of the prize winners. he told us by the websites and you do this because you believe that is to stream the important to most of the young people to turn the backs on exclusion violation racism, anti semitism, and all forms of hostility to the group talking. but so now i mention 5, this type, so then you have on go small and left in this works give special significance to the world named often monkwood friedlander. and i'm delighted to see the interest this award is attracting among young people all over germany,

which front of the 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 staff. the shy in there is probably a dressmaker. space. i don't know if i had a frenzy. i was very young when hitler came to power. com as well. 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, don't put steam stones until 19 associates to occur until the cust on the we tried to more or less have a life. i mean, i, you come out of the so as a if i see it was to shoot the,

those young is 18. 24 is when you meet someone and start dating that you my kids out for those years we're missing continued. he's not real frivolous. see who is this guy, or should i put it in to have time regret not having that is 5 dolphin. i was away some fishing this me because i do not make us. let's have a look in here to the 12 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 signing her questionnaire. so i left school. i didn't do my final. yeah. oh,

school leaving exams. not been hygiene or did citation. i went to the fashion design school. that's where i met philip living. so see if he was very nice and i was very much in love scales latasha and i think that was the 1st and only time, at least it was the 1st time i got drunk, can pull from the hospital and the sleep of the day closing because the stressor itself. yeah, yeah. they, you see the d p, f i, i agree is the change. there was a huge table where the pumpkins were caught. p as a guess. is that to dish? that would be my, well, i have things that one nice,

that's the other. yeah. the photographer, i'm a t a c. glad to portrait. so friedlander for a photo book for her 100 birthday at locations that played an important role in her life. like here at house full time slots, where her parents shop with the, the presents or as

a modern woman who has grown from her difficult past the sting to human. these are brought to my know, i always think my mother's words to take to me. but i am the pro system in late 2 years. when i was here, this please of nitrate. as you could try to make your life. now i'm making a life, indeed i'm doing something in my life. i leave awareness of what friedlander does is not confined to germany. when us secretary of state anthony blinking and his german counter par tyco mos arranged a joint conference to commemorate the holocaust. once again, it was presented who was there to remind people of the equality of all human beings . i tell them that there is no christian

jewish or muslim blocked, that is on the human black n t i. and i had to go to this now who own was on the t s. to talk to pizza. it just for you. thank you. so that's a nice thing to me. i always say, i hope i can keep going for a while longer yet sleep the life gave me the chance to do this. this mission is in this show on the i don't just if my own life, but this i speak for those who comp speak for themselves

the the, the change it tight. so the weaknesses of that era. a go know you have the new ways of remembering this 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

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 sealants information. please go to the ma some you kind of flush 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 tools. this is delta c as c o v e 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 of the 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. still indefinitely by each bass question,
