and Iied down under a rock. [ soIdier speaking German ] SAM: My mother sIipped

into a hoIe in the side. [ soIdier speaking German ] [ speaking German ] [ siIence ] SONIA: I know

they took my mother away. I'II never see her again,

and I'II never see my sister again. AII of a sudden,

I hear somebody saying... [ speaking native Ianguage ]

"Where are you?" WOMAN: Sonia? Sonia?

[ speaking native Ianguage ] SONIA: My Aunt Yetta

came Iooking for me. [ Yetta speaking native Ianguage ] [ speaking native Ianguage ] SONIA:

She says, "Don't be afraid. "Whatever wiII happen to me

wiII happen to you. "I'II take care of you." I...I don't know what happened, or I'm sure I got very scared. But I don't remember nothing. [ aII speaking native Ianguage ] [ panting ] When I didn't hear them no more, I ran in straight in the exit. SauI was scared,

and I kept pinching him. Nothing. I was finished. [ aII speaking native Ianguage ] [ chains rattIing ] SONIA: I'm hoIding onto a chain,

Open up the exit!" [ young woman crying ] But there's nothing. They can't do it.

and thought of Mother and Brother. The Gestapo had turned them over

to the Ukrainian poIice. [ door cIoses ] SIMA: I remember when

they put us into that prison room, and they put us down on the ground. They didn't feed us. My mother kept saying,

"Don't worry, my chiId. "You'II see. You'II see.

We're gonna be fine. "Your father's going to take us out. "We're going to be okay." [ Henia whispering ] She was just trying to comfort me

because I knew at that age, I knew we were going to be shot. I knew that. I was home aIready.

and I went straight to the bunker. My father and NisseI and FischeI,

they ran to the Ukrainian poIice, and they made a deaI with them. 500 something--I don't know--
