Transcript of interview: "Actually, my father - and I can only speak from my personal experience - never wanted to talk about what life was like. Well he was young, he was only about 14, 15 years old, who knows - if he knew how old he was himself when he came because a lot of them falsified, you know, their papers, their age and all this. And he came before the first world war. But… he never wanted to talk about it. No he said, that’s a life ago. It was so painful."
