Rae Kushner - Being hungry during Rosh Hashanah
Transcript: I'll tell you the story with it, with food. And we were sitting. It was pouring from Rosh Hashanah to Yom Kippur 10 days and we were hungry and my sister got really tired, and she was a young girl. She's 4 years younger than me and she said, "Let's go to a gentile. Let's ask for bread. Maybe they'll give us bread." So we went. I went with my sister, and my father was holding on to this guy, to the farmer boy, and we knocked on the door and he ran out with a big piece of wood, gave my sister over the head and he put out a dog, a big dog on us, and we were hungry again. Later on we walked further and we went into a woman. She knew us. She knew the Kushner family so she said to us, "I'll let you eat. I'll give you to eat. I'll let you sleep overnight in the stable." She had cows. "But I cannot let you stay here for longer." I don't blame her. You know why? But if they would find out that she's hiding the Jews, the Jews, she would be killed with our family.
