00:00:00.185 --> 00:00:03.365
The meaning, uh, of these stories, I really connect

2
00:00:03.365 --> 00:00:05.485
to the, the objects that come in.

3
00:00:06.065 --> 00:00:09.485
So, um, I was just thinking about this the other day,

4
00:00:09.835 --> 00:00:12.525
when Ben Carniol's memoir was in process,

5
00:00:13.405 --> 00:00:15.565
I was given a photo album to scan,

6
00:00:16.505 --> 00:00:20.645
and it was from basically his childhood on.

7
00:00:21.105 --> 00:00:23.885
And so photographs that his, his parents took

8
00:00:23.885 --> 00:00:26.605
and photographs of him with his family who, uh,

9
00:00:26.665 --> 00:00:27.845
did not survive the war

10
00:00:27.905 --> 00:00:31.725
and then continued to be filled with photos from the people

11
00:00:31.825 --> 00:00:33.605
who were taking care of him.

12
00:00:33.705 --> 00:00:36.285
And then it made its way to Canada as well.

13
00:00:36.905 --> 00:00:40.405
And so when these survivors share the stories

14
00:00:40.465 --> 00:00:41.565
of their prewar life

15
00:00:41.905 --> 00:00:44.045
and there's a visual like that to accompany it,

16
00:00:44.305 --> 00:00:46.325
that's incredibly meaningful.
