00:00:01.185 --> 00:00:05.685
One of the really remarkable things about what we get

2
00:00:05.685 --> 00:00:09.565
to do is we, uh, interview, uh, all

3
00:00:09.565 --> 00:00:11.525
of the author survivors.

4
00:00:12.985 --> 00:00:15.885
Of course, the interviews themselves are incredible

5
00:00:16.065 --> 00:00:18.005
and moving in all kinds of ways.

6
00:00:18.105 --> 00:00:22.045
But one of the things I love most is the act

7
00:00:22.185 --> 00:00:25.725
of going into a survivor's home, meeting them,

8
00:00:25.725 --> 00:00:28.165
meeting their wives and their children,

9
00:00:28.425 --> 00:00:30.965
and sitting at their kitchen table

10
00:00:31.825 --> 00:00:33.765
and sometimes having a l'Chaim

11
00:00:34.135 --> 00:00:36.685
after an interview, a particularly moving interview.

12
00:00:37.585 --> 00:00:41.925
And one I remember so clearly is when we went into Leslie

13
00:00:42.715 --> 00:00:44.885
Fazekas and his wife Judy's home,

14
00:00:45.825 --> 00:00:49.365
and we, we, we, we talked to Leslie

15
00:00:49.465 --> 00:00:52.365
and Judy, uh, in their kitchen, which was a,

16
00:00:52.365 --> 00:00:55.605
almost like a jungle room, just a wild palette.

17
00:00:56.105 --> 00:01:00.205
And Leslie had all of his diaries out from the war

18
00:01:00.205 --> 00:01:03.925
that he had written in a beautiful, tiny script,

19
00:01:04.305 --> 00:01:07.725
and they were just talking about their life together.

20
00:01:07.725 --> 00:01:10.045
Leslie and Judy were talking about what it was like

21
00:01:10.045 --> 00:01:12.605
to be married for so long and the secret of their success.

22
00:01:12.865 --> 00:01:14.725
And those are some of the things

23
00:01:14.845 --> 00:01:17.205
that don't often get captured in what we do.

24
00:01:17.425 --> 00:01:19.285
And those are some of the most moving moments.

25
00:01:20.425 --> 00:01:25.365
If we were not happy for 70 long years,

26
00:01:26.865 --> 00:01:31.845
we wouldn't be together because it's no use to be together.

27
00:01:32.065 --> 00:01:36.005
And you can see people, many, many people

28
00:01:37.825 --> 00:01:40.405
who divorce because they realize

29
00:01:40.675 --> 00:01:43.165
that one is not for the other one.

30
00:01:44.015 --> 00:01:46.485
She's for me and I am for her.

31
00:01:47.385 --> 00:01:51.925
And every, every morning when we wake up,

32
00:01:53.185 --> 00:01:57.525
we, we, uh, how do you say? Thank

33
00:01:57.545 --> 00:01:59.925
God for being here? Thank

34
00:01:59.925 --> 00:02:02.965
you very much. And being together, that's the most

35
00:02:02.965 --> 00:02:04.845
important. And that, that is the secret

36
00:02:05.345 --> 00:02:06.245
for being together.
