to be oak of p. so i was invited to berlin again to do readings assigned and not diesel. deeper, i noticed how silent these young people, uh, yona mentioned the school students do the same thing and how as soon as i started to speak, they wanted to know that what's next best? what's next? what is this woman's life, the fundies of? what did she lives through the c n a? i wouldn't. and i always said it to you so that we live through never happens again. that's who of us you, that machine. death must be a leap top. but i don't blame many of you. of a dish. cable is kind of a choice 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 thought good. here i was speaking to the 3rd or 4th generation who had nothing to do with it to on the new stuff me to tune that the readings have become too exhausting for her. so friedlander has started using a video recording infinities and that's not good. it is we asked the company honish tasa in a truck out of berlin, spending the tool will show us the doors closed behind us for days. 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 to taught steam. i'm going to us and i just wanna shrink it. that is my new scene furnished by num code. but my so was not in my body in this truck, on its way to, to hazy and stuff cause easy instead was like a large scale study,

an experiment spinning it, 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 that in the depth. waited for us in the camps in the east till in the get towed. there was hung up cells and cramped conditions and it was everyone set themselves a loan to some humana. see some closeness the and it was difficult for me to, to allow those things in it. everyone existed in a kind of isolation hooked up to hazy and stopped. was of that q 5 cool, a place devoid of and light, or without time it site? honestly, 6 of us. 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, so 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 because i believe that my was being heard. well, of course, this flagstaff k as a see sure what i'm telling you might not get through to all of you, but you can reach to full 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?

a true human assuming solution. i can get it out. i can please good. and i'd like to give some of that back. the shipping news for life, maybe i don't really realize is also really i do see i've done a lot of it turned out to dunc, so when i look in this folder, i see all the words funks in the email for the dental side of the readings. and hundreds and hundreds of the ones that they not for not single mission for the most . they are all expressions of gratitude to you. junk. so go so

yes i have been the of was who's 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 the 1st day people have written lessons like that is in, in believe that sometimes the same to the interesting thing is how they suddenly really learn what was going on. bestbuy net the other cost you believe in the model, the cost survivor margot friedlander is $1.00 of 10 berliners. the tool guide is now offering a ma god. friedlander to keep the one's gone. all 600 thanks will be so 66 years. 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 for faith 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 mention of the con who they wanted to kill you own and almost managed to own just in fast the little today. a jewish woman who to even has become honorary

citizens. so gets by with her honorary citizenship. friedlander is now among the great names in 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, villani shows her how different and varied the portraits are the very different style here, and that one of the twist denture is almost realistic. element schmidt with his ever present cigarettes and the snuff tobacco. he always used g. and look at that style.

the uh, the astronauts deals the so yes, there's a list of honorary citizens from east gemini. this is of sigma and yeah. and, and valerie because sky all that, so 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 do you the i is a bit more complete than the fresh the sketched on the 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 to

this from the tradition 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 snyder come or is it here being mama mission here being one is b as in period gabriel g, a minus the phone princess in cobbling say needs to go involving the i t. s. is going to be the end of good 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, 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. you can even mine, instead of on the big, loose fallen off by the community that associates does. it's to visit no being near him being v as in v here. no. being the big d as in tv and the 2019 cleveland that 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 level human dignity is one environmental the so i'm very happy the use market 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. our special ceremony was held by the german integration foundation to mark the 70th anniversary of the constitution. even putting this 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. and she also became patriot of article one of the constitution.
