Sonia Orbuch - Partisan life
Transcript: Living in partisans to me it was like a picnic already after what we went through before the partisans, the partisan life was actually very good for us, because living by ourselves in the forest and hungry and wet and not being able to get any clothes. Or or to wash ourselves for a whole year we did not wash ourselves and water we had to dissolve the snow in order to get a little bit of water and if we baked a little bit of bread and we brought it back to the forest, we hung it up, we left it on the ground the animals ate it, so we used to hang it on top of the of the, ah trees in order to preserve it. It was difficult, my legs were burned completely because it was so cold, when you sat in front of the fire, I did not feel that my flesh was burning my legs. It was a horror but when we came to the partisans, to me that was a good life. I was not alone, and if I was going to die, I was going to die as a fighter, not because I was born a Jew. I was going to die as a fighter and that's what kept us going.
