In their own words...

"We thought this work would help us to find responses to our questions. The contrary is true. The more we learned, the more other questions appeared. I feel that it is impossible to find the answer to the cardinal question – how could it happen? In spite of this we will keep asking..."

"We particularly wanted to publish memories of the people whose lives were changed by the war and the Holocaust. We had the opportunity to meet Mrs. Viera Siladinova who survived Auschwitz. On the Internet we were in touch with Mrs. Rachel Isserow who, together with her family, left Usti nad Labem for Israel. We had a chance to have a look at the authentic diary notes of our classmate’s great-grandfather and get acquainted with the memories of our two classmates’ grandmothers."
