:20:01
And tried to prevent any life
from escaping this ghetto.
:20:05
I saw the flames of the ghetto. . .
:20:08
. . .and I saw also certain pictures
which were seared in my mind.
:20:13
Some Jews running
from one place to another.
:20:18
Some Jews jumping from buildings.
:20:21
The Germans
couldn't take over the streets.
:20:24
They start putting block after block
on fire.
:20:29
It was also the Polish holiday.
It was Easter.
:20:33
And children were riding
around and around. . .
:20:39
. . .and music was playing.
:20:41
Not far from them
the ghetto was burning. . .
:20:45
. . .and you heard the shooting
and you saw the smoke.
:20:49
And people outside were staring. . .
:20:52
. . .some admiring,
some saying, ''Take a look.
:20:56
Jews are frying now in the ghetto. ''
:21:00
What we thought was, we are
going to fight and we will die.
:21:04
As it turns out, after the first,
two, three, four days. . .
:21:10
. . .we fight and most of us. . .
:21:15
. . .we are still alive.
:21:20
And we thought,
''What are we going to do?''
:21:24
You were burnt alive inside
or you find a way out.
:21:29
And this was the main mission.
:21:32
This life with Kazik
begins from the moment I realize. . .
:21:36
. . .that he is from Powisle.
:21:39
He can go to the Aryan side. . .
:21:41
. . .and organize our withdrawal
from the ghetto.
:21:45
I was young. I was naive.
:21:47
I thought the moment
that I will succeed. . .
:21:51
. . .in going out from the ghetto. . .
:21:55
. . .most of the mission is done.
Somehow I will find people.
