Tag #107726 - Interview #101359 (Helena Najberg)

This was a traditional burial, because such was my husband’s wish. That’s what he wanted. At the end of his life he only talked about this cemetery: ‘Remember, I want to be buried at the Jewish cemetery, because at the Polish cemetery, after 20 years, if you don’t pay, when you’re not there, they’ll pack someone else in there with me,’ but at a Jewish cemetery they can’t move anyone. If someone’s been buried, he can lie there until the end of the world, he can’t be touched. I don’t know why [he said that], something must have appealed to him, he must have liked something about this tradition. And that’s why I buried him there and I asked them to reserve a place for me somewhere close to my husband. We lived together for 57 years!
