Her Last Words to Her Brother Will Break Your Heart

She and her 8-year-old brother were placed on a train, transported to the death camp of Avitz. Their parents were already gone. So, it was her, 15 years old, and her 8-year-old brother. They're on the train, and at some point, she takes a look at her baby brother, and she sees he doesn't have his shoes. She says, "Where are your shoes?" He says, "In the commotion of the Germans chasing them onto the train, he lost his shoes." She got really annoyed with her brother, like an older sister gets annoyed with her baby brother. And she starts saying, "You're such an idiot. You're such a schlamasle. You can't get your life together. Tati and mommy are not here. Where am I going to get you another pair of shoes?" And she screamed at him and hollered at him and insulted him and denigrated him. And she turns to this conductor and she says to him, "That conversation was the last conversation I ever had with my brother." Soon we arrived to the death camp. Mangala made the selection. He went in one direction. I went in another direction. A few hours later, his body was burnt in the crmiums, and that was the last time I saw and spoke to my brother. And I could never forgive myself that my last conversation with my brother moments before his brutal death was insulting him. What an idiot he is, how foolish he is, what a he is, how irresponsible is. I could never forgive myself. She says, "The day of liberation came. I stepped out of those cursed portals. Mak fry and as I stepped into freedom I decided that I'm going to live a life of happiness and then I made one more resolution to myself from now on whenever I speak to somebody especially whenever I speak to a child I'm going to speak in a way that later I will not regret if I find out that that was my last conversation with this Listen.
