Quote

“We had no rights, we weren't able to learn anything smart, we couldn't build an existence and we weren't allowed to marry. We shared the fear with those who did not survive the persecution and we suffered the shame of having been better off than father, relatives, friends, comrades. We did not survive it unscathed. "
