...to Auschwitz wouId never return.
1:37:22
ln July, 1945...
1:37:24
...l went back to Germany
to work for the American government.
1:37:28
One of the reasons
was to look for my parents.
1:37:32
The most sensible place to go to,
would be to go back to Kippenheim.
1:37:37
But l didn´t go back...
1:37:38
...until August, 1947.
1:37:42
l think on some level...
1:37:45
...I knew my parents didn´t survive...
1:37:48
...but as Iong as I didn´t go back
to Kippenheim...
1:37:51
...I couId stiII say that maybe
they were back in Kippenheim...
1:37:55
...which doesn´t reaIIy make
a Iot of sense, but...
1:37:58
...I think it was just

l just wasn´t ready yet to accept...
1:38:05
...the fact that l no longer had parents...
1:38:07
...that l hadn´t had parents for a long time.

...remarkably...
1:38:24
...a few parents survived
to be reunited with their children.
1:38:31
My parents managed
to get out of Austria...
1:38:33
...by going to ltaly.
1:38:35
And from ltaly they got into France.
1:38:38
They were hidden by some extremely
wonderful people there.
1:38:43
After the war ended...
1:38:45
...I was toId that my parents...
1:38:47
...were aIive...
1:38:49
...and that some day I wouId probabIy
have to go back and Iive with them.
1:38:54
I think I was horrified by that idea.

Uncle Percy persuaded my parents...
