And the woman?
:16:02
The woman who saved her life.
:16:07
Saved her life?
:16:08
My mom sent for Ruth to come live
with us in America after the war.

:16:13
I thought she came to America alone.
:16:15
That's true, too.
:16:16
My parents immigrated here
from Europe, back in 1933.

:16:21
I was born in the USA.
My name is Rachel Rosenbauer.

:16:25
I'm your mother's cousin.
:16:30
Hi, Rachel.
:16:33
I'm so sorry that she never
told us anything about you.

:16:38
Or about this woman.
:16:41
Why didn't she?
:16:45
It's all my fault...
:16:47
even though I was just a child at the time.
:16:50
Just like your mother.
:16:54
When she came to live with us,
I was terribly jealous of her.

:16:58
She would secretly look at
this photo at night and cry.

:17:02
I used to scold her and
tell her to be quiet,

:17:04
complaining that I couldn't sleep.
:17:07
The truth was I didn't want my mom
coming in and taking her in her arms.

:17:12
You see?
:17:15
I was egoistical like all children.
:17:18
Your mother never forgave me.
