-You expressed concern about people asking you lots of questions after
the visit, simply because you are a Jew. Did that happen? What was your
reaction?
Well, mostly people just asked me if I was all right, which was incredibly
touching. Another person also said that seeing me just standing there
outside (when I am there I stand in front of a barrack and say a prayer for
those who died, even though I am not generally a religious person; I feel
very close to the dead at Buchenwald, physically and spiritually, I feel
like they can hear me better there than anywhere else) was very moving and
that otherwise the camp wouldn't have been as effective for her, so in that
way, I think that my Jewishness actually helped others, which was
surprising.
-Purposes of multiple concentration camp visits? You said before it's
good because it erases the sense of "I've been to one; my dues are paid."
What do you see as the right amount of time between visits?
Well, when you're in Europe, I think a couple of months; when you're over
here, I think you should go to one every time you go to Europe, to remember.
