:46:02
but people still died every day.
:46:08
We started walking.
:46:13
After, maybe, ten days
:46:16
we were only 60 miles
from the Russian border
:46:22
and there I stopped.
:46:25
I couldn't take another step.
No strength.
:46:28
I couldn't go on.
:46:44
Good. That's better.
:46:50
And there I stayed.
I fell sick.
:46:55
They sent me to a hospital in Danzig.
:46:58
I stayed there
four, five months, maybe six.
:47:04
I remember nothing about it.
:47:07
Not one memory of the hospital.
:47:11
A mental blank.
:47:16
Danzig became Polish,
:47:19
Poland became Soviet
:47:22
and I, as an ex-Lithuanian citizen,
:47:26
was sent back to Vilnius.
:47:29
And there I stayed.
I wasn't allowed to leave.
:47:36
I found nothing there.
Nothing. Nobody.
:47:39
No poppa, no momma... nobody.
:47:42
Nobody.
:47:45
I couldn't even remember
where I was born!
:47:51
That's the story.
Nothing we can do about it.
:47:56
Grandma said you went to Israel
and we'd join you there.
