-Alexandra Schicharva

1. It seems like you were a stable child, how did you get used to being a “slaved” and doing things for others?

2. Was it hard for you to not be able to talk about to them or say no to anything they asked you to do?

3. Were you scared when they threaten you to be sent to a concentration camp?

4. How did you feel living in Zhdanov on the Azov Sea in one-room apartment, and sharing a kitchen with two other families?

5.  What was going through our head when you were hearing the news on the radio?

- heart touching.

           After viewing the footage of George Gottlieb and two other holocaust survivors has left me speechless. Hearing how George talked about his mom and the sadness you could see in his eyes just made me cry. The thought of never seeing my mom again is just indescribable. It’s so sad that they couldn’t fully say bye to each other and he only has those 20 minutes playing back and forth in his head. I just can’t imagine what all the survivors felt while they saw their family disappear one by one. These documentaries have left me with no words. It makes me think a lot about how I should appreciate every moment I get with my family because you never know when they could be taken away from you. I sometimes take very moments for granted and I should because for each moment I get one of these survivors wish they could have one more with their families. It’s just very heart touching.
