very honored to speak to this kind of audience that has come from all over the world to mourn. remember, and honor the memory of our people who are so brutally murdered by the nazis. however, however, we are also here to proclaim and to pledge said we will never, never, ever allow history to repeat itself. i would like to share some of my memories on because i know that there are many survivors here who are struggling with their own. i was just 6 and

a half years old when novice liberated from our streets. but my memories of very vivid sadness to my mother who constantly validated the events to me as they were happening. when she was with me, she never ever covered abc up. i remember as a 5 and a half year old child watching from my hiding place instead of whole lids late, but cam as old, my little friends were run did up and driven to the depths while the hard rigging cries of the parents fell on deaf ears

and still all the children were gone and the courtyard was empty. i thought to myself, am i the only your child left the world? shortly there after we were loaded into catherine cars. the men and women were separated. this was the very 1st time i ever saw. my father cried apo until then, no matter what horrors, no matter what happened to us. we were together the 3 of us, we were a family. but now he was sent to the house.

and my mother and i here to this cab was streets. you can now hot, hungry, thirsty, and very terrified. i held on tight to my mother's and in the dark temple car full time plus our was the cries and the prayers of said, many desperate women permeated my soul and phone to me to this day. finally, we arrived at our streets at gloomy sudden day with the sky obscured by smoke. and the terrible sting hung in the air. and there were rows and rows of naked women all around me. or

what are they looking for? i asked my mother as i too was naked and i tried to avoid the jerk, the gleam of the german shepherds and the eyes. i was the height so i can see them completely. i can, i can still see them eyes to this date. my mother and sidney diseases. but if we are ill, she didn't have to finish. she pointed to the smoke, right. by the end too and i knew at 5 and

a half what that meant. we all knew it solved was being beaten mercilessly by a guard for fidgeting, for not being able to stand still for hours and in a pen and roll cold. i looked into my mazda size. she was standing next to me silently and she was pleading with me to cry, don't cry, hold on. and i didn't. i recall thinking i will never, i will never let said know how much they all hurting me. it's 5 and a half. i had the re valley in me. i will not so was and i was not up let them know. it's

a pain that inflicting on me. i am sure. so many of you here tor holocaust survivors have their own memories. and you remember when you're in tired, being rebuilt by 2 cells, powerless and bad. and so you just had to reside on. and i see when the day i stood and watched helplessly as little girls from the nearby barracks were marched away, crying and shivering to the guest chamber said what coverage was rugs. and some of them didn't even have a new shoes. and were walking fed forward in this know say were

very young as i was 6 or 7 but stuff they should sure. hong c a bodies. and they appeared even young will they to be came. ashes is my direct. next, i silently wondered, i saw 6 feet all have to die. that it was normal. if you are jewish tile, you have the height. i wasn't even sure what joe is was. because we, i never saw was 80 celebrations, but deaf child. george seemed a normal fort,

as i knew nothing about partisan save the jews from ghettos and cams. i knew nothing above the 1944 wore so upright sea, nor of the allies and the d date nor a v. at the end, the invasion of normandy at that time i was victims in a moral vacuum. but today however, we all, we have an obligation not only to remember which is very, very important. but also to warn and 2 kids that hatred only be get some more hate for it, killing more killing instead. oh or revenge has been

to build a strong jewish country and raise our families in peace. many of you here i so have you, wonderful families with you? just as i do 80 years of deliberation. the world is again in crisis. with jewish christian values have been overshadowed world wide by prejudice, see, or suspicion and extremism and the red foot and ties. semitism that is reading among the nations shocking it shocking to all of us to our children and our grandchildren israel, the only democracy in the middle east. it is 5. the forwards,

very existence. and this way of life. we more not only the fall of the soldiers and the hostages, but also the turbulence admins. it mistrusted noah's society. we pray for us, threatened resilience. and of course, the whole which has to be part of our daily life. we all of us most reawaken our collective kansas to transform this violence, anger, hatred, and malignancy. so it has so powerful grid,

the society into a humane and just world before all these terrible, terrible negative forces will destroy, as for it is an enormous task. but our jewish sages teach us, the tide is short, the task is great. we may not be able to complete it, but we have an obligation to starts. thank you. the that was receiving a standardization from some of the audience. so that friedman, himself,
