transcription:
I have to tell you something else. after a while ? you can’t grasp it at first, but after three, four days I did grasp it: You realize that you aren’t the only one, who is affected. Many tourists were here, families with kids ? who go home without their child or children. For them, it must be even worse They don’t know this place, it isn't their home. You start thinking the other way around: "What if I’m on holiday and go back home without my kids?" That's far worse. This isn't a consolation, but I have always thought: "There are people with a worse fate than mine" These people can understand it even less, they have no connection to the town and the mountain.’ I always thought: ?Poor them, poor them’ Of course, when I prayed, I also prayed for them. I never forgot anyone, I never forgot anyone. These people are part of it, just like my wife, Edith or my mother. They are all part of it, and looking back I often think: "This has also given you strength, someone sent you that." It is important never to forget anyone. When something like this happens to you, that you never forget anyone! Later on, I think, it comes back in a positive way That’s what I think.
