" Many people have stories of bravery during the Holocaust. I am no braver than anyone else. 6,000,000 Jews lost their lives during the war. They are the heroes, my son, not me. I was lucky.”
“Some people make their own luck, Zayde! You are one of those. I’m so proud to be your grandson.”
“Then you’ll do me a favor?”
“Anything.”
“Tell everyone you know about the brave Jews who escaped from Auschwitz but don’t tell them about your grandfather.”
“Why not? I’m so proud of you! You were part of the resistance.”
“Because it is not important that one of the Holocaust survivors is your Zayde. All Jews are relatives—all are important, especially after the death of the 6,000,000 and so many other attempts to wide us out . . . "
