Šošana Kohn roz. Weinberger

“We were in Prague. Only daddy went there, my mom said that she would not be able to go with me. Only daddy was with me. I thought that although I was young, I would help them to come here to Israel. I didn’t know that I would not see them anymore. That was difficult. Because I was the only one who remained. They remained there and immediately after the war I sent a telegram, asking about them.”

“How did you find out after the war what had happened? Did you think about going back?” – “No. Because I have always wanted to come here, and if I had not come today, I would have come tomorrow. I cried very much, because my parents were no longer there. I had not thought that I would never see them again. It was very difficult to leave them and not to see them. They wrote to me that I should not worry, because tomorrow they were going to a new town. That town was Oświęcim, Auschwitz.” – “How did you find out about it after the war?” – “I knew that one of my friends came here and his uncle had come back, and so I wrote to him. He wrote me that they were no longer alive, that I did not have anybody, anybody, anybody.”
