Benjamin Levin - Hiding From The Germans In The Ghetto
Transcript: We were running, and I saw a crowd is running in and out. I followed the crowd, and they were screaming, "The Germans are in the ghetto." And we went to some attic, a double attic, there was a door. And we jumped in, and we could lay down, just all we could do. We couldn't stand up. Lay flat. And I was a tiny little one. I laid down all the way at the end. And the only bad thing is what what happened was a young couple, a mother I saw with a small baby, extremely small, I don't know what how old. Maybe three months, maybe five. I didn't have idea at this time. It was screaming. And somebody took a coat and wrapped around the baby, and then they moved the baby to the corner, and I think that they killed the baby. And then I left back. I never saw those people again. But I think that's what happened [ ] And then I went home, and I asked my mother and she said, "What happened?" And I told her roughly what happened. And she said, "It's not your fault. And things, they just happen. It's a war. Get used to it. Even worse things can happen, too.
