You were lucky to survive.
1:17:13
They put us in lines.
1:17:16
Made lists.
1:17:18
It was all very logical.
1:17:21
They burned the synagogue.
1:17:23
What is she saying?
1:17:24
That was the first thing they did.
1:17:26
They burned the synagogue.
1:17:27
Then they unrolled a Torah on the ground
and told the men to spit on it.
1:17:31
They unrolled something on the ground
and told them to spit on it.
1:17:35
My father would make us kiss
any book that touched the ground.
1:17:41
Cooking books. Books for children,
plays, even journals...
1:17:48
...and this was our Torah...
1:17:50
It was their Torah.
1:17:51
...that had been in our synagogue...
1:17:54
...since the first rabbi brought it here
300 years before.
1:18:01
First was Yosef.
1:18:04
First man was Yosef.
1:18:07
He was a shoemaker.
1:18:10
They held a gun to his daughter's head...
1:18:14
...and commanded him to spit.
1:18:17
And told him to spit on the Torah.
1:18:19
He spit. They all spit.
1:18:23
And tore and kicked and whatever else
they were told to do.
1:18:28
Except...
1:18:31
...my father.
1:18:35
They all spit.
1:18:37
Except her father.
1:18:41
And then...
1:18:45
...my sister.
1:18:47
Augustine.
1:18:48
She was pregnant.
1:18:52
She was pregnant.
1:18:55
They put the gun
to her pregnant belly.
