Alexander White - Alex runs into chef who saved his life
Transcript: I am in San Jose, California, and this was about twenty-five years ago. And I see a sign, Delicatessen, Kosher Delicatessen. All of a sudden, in the deep down, I had a desire for a good, kosher salami sandwich. So I tell the guy behind the counter, would you make me a good salami sandwich on rye? He says, Sure. So, nobody there, so we started to talk. And by then he finishes the sandwich, brings it to the table, and he says, where are you from? I says, Hungary, Nyiregyhaza. He says, oh really? Where are you from? Budapest. He says, oh, then, what camp were you? I says, in Borba, it's in Yugoslavia. He started to cry. The man is 20 years my senior, why in the world ? He says, your name is Chander Weiss. I says, yes, how did you know? He says, we were waiting for you to come and liberate us. I'm the chef, remember? I still have the coat that you gave me.
