As far as I remember, I flew from Warsaw. I got on a plane that landed in Haifa. Janek, my cousin, came to the airport for me. He and his sister Ewa left Poland before the war. And we went back from Haifa by car to… where was it they lived? That famous lake… [the Sea of Galilee]. His wife worked in the municipal offices as a translator, because she was a Jew from England. She was 3 when she arrived there, so she knew English, and Hebrew of course. Ewa had a family there too, but she lived somewhere else.
The first time, I just stayed with Janek. No, for the first few days I couldn’t understand the Hebrew, but within a few days it all came back to me.
