-And these are your family?
-Yeah.

My grandmother gave me this.
:31:59

It was taken during the war.

:32:04
It's you.
:32:06
I've heard that.
:32:07
-And this is Augustine?
-Yeah.

My mother said that he never would have
made it to America if it weren't for her.

And she's from Trachimbrod?
:32:17
Or somewhere near there.
:32:19
This is Kolki. My grandmother's shtetl.
:32:21

:32:23
It's a village.
:32:24
It's Yiddish, it means "village. "
It doesn't seem to be far from Trachimbrod.

Why do you make such a rigid search?
:32:40
I guess I just wanted to see
where my grandfather grew up...

:32:45
...where I would be now
if he hadn't come to America.

:32:48
You would be Ukrainian, like me.
:32:51
Only not like me, because you would be
a farmer from some unimpressive town...

:32:55
-... and I am from Odessa.
-I see.
