:33:00
And did your grandparents ever return
to Ukraine?

:33:03
God, no. My grandmother would go crazy
if she knew I was here.

:33:06
Why?
:33:08
She didn't think it was safe.
:33:10
She said that before the war,
Ukraine was just as bad as Berlin.

:33:14
Jews weren't exactly popular in Ukraine.
:33:17
When the Nazis invaded, she actually
thought it would be an improvement.

:33:21
Who told you this?
:33:25
My grandmother.
:33:26
Why did she say this?
:33:31
I don't know. It's just how she felt.
:33:36
Grandfather...
:33:37
...he says Ukrainians were
anti-Semitic before the war.

:33:41
Is it true?
:33:46
Grandfather?
:34:02
It's nice.
:34:07
Really, it's just for sleeping.
:34:18
-Jonfen?
-Yeah.

:34:22
You were very proximal
with your grandfather, yes?

:34:29
Yeah. Why?
:34:34
Tomorrow we will make a search.
:34:36
Good night.
:34:37
Good night.
:34:45
Make sure to secure the door
when I am gone.

:34:48
I do not want
to make you petrified person...

:34:50
...but there are many dangerous people
who want to take things from Americans...

:34:54
...and also kidnap them. Okay?
:34:57
Okay.
:34:59
Good night.
