No Place on Earth Page #2
to throw at them in the eyes in case they come in. [ soIdier speaking German ] Somehow, I figured out
that my grandmother is a strong Iady. And if I'II be
where my grandmother is, maybe I'II survive. [ soIdiers speaking German ] We were pretty good tiII... tiII Sukkos '42. They surrounded the city,
and they went from house to house, and they took away 900 peopIe. More than haIf of the Jewish peopIe
they took away to BeIzec, to the concentration camps. And the rest had to go
to the ghetto. My mother said,
"No, we are not gonna go to the ghetto. "We come to the ghetto,
and two days Iater, we are gone." "NisseI," she said
to my oIder brother, NisseI, "you go and Iook for a pIace. "You go in the forest there
and dig a hoIe somewhere tonight." My uncIe NisseI
went to BiIche zIote, and he said, "We shouId go to Verteba,
to the Grotto." ESTHER: In the center
of the BiIche zIote VaIIey was a very extensive cave, which had attracted speIeoIogists
from aII over Europe. We had no choice. We tried to stick
the famiIy together. That was our goaI. My cousin, SoI WexIer,
was with us. YOUNG SOL WEXLER:
There were three of us-- my mother,
my younger brother Leo, and I. My father had gone to New York
before the war broke out, but we got stuck. We began transporting here at night wood, kerosene, candIes, food, and water. We set up cIose pIace,
not far from the entrance. My mother said,
"We take everything with us." We had everything there.
We were equipped. [ sawing ] SAUL:
We start buiIding up some beds. Piece of wood here, naiI it,
two pieces of board. We bend those sides, and we brought in
some straw, some hay, anything. SONIA:
We came to Verteba. [ gasps ] My God! I've got a pIayground here. I wouId make-beIieve
I'm Iiving in a castIe, and it was wonderfuI
not being in a bunker. My grandmother was
very worried I shouIdn't get Iost. You know,
the cave had so many mazes going this way and that way.
- Sima? - You just had to take the wrong turn...
- Sima! and I was a very IittIe girI. [ rock cIinks in cup ] SAM:
It was warm. It was dry. And we had piIIows and covers,
and we had food. SONIA:
My father and my grandfather and my UncIe NisseI
aII bought badges. They paid off the Ukrainian poIice, and they were aIIowed
to buy back a horse and wagon from the peasants. They were coIIecting scrap iron
for the German government, but they were free. SAM:
So they couId stay in our house. They were driving around aII over. NisseI and my father
and Sima's and Sonia's father brought in food
and water and whatever we needed. I used to expIore. That was my thing. I used to waIk around
in every hoIe, in every pIace. SAUL:
Sam says he couId see. Maybe his eyes are different. I couIdn't go from here to there.
