Keywords - only if you like to tell about it: escape to Israel. Do you - yes, I have noticed very well. Which are in Obergurgl - as I have in the summer - so this is still such a point - secrecy. Yes, I have .. Service had to Königsjoch. And as I go through the door - I had to get me in the office the job. Since there is a lot of people out there. Young men, old men, old women and children. And it was the night cold and there was so much snow in the middle of summer. That's happened up there often. And there I was surrounded by young men. And then one says: And then one said, "My name is Star, my name is star." I say: "Mine too." Go! Then he added - yes. And then I say, "You have nothing to fear now that I begin to shoot wildly around me, but I have now - but I can not help you at all, so we have now -" There were two gentlemen there who have I awakened. To which I say: "Because looking down, the people, the whistle of the last hole, we can not cater for, which will support the community is not where we need to see that we are soon on the - well, and which one has done so much, would make it, to be helped. " And yes, the ropes to cross the glacier. Since we always have to go to his second and rope. .. The Germans were so many top during the war and have since had the ropes yet. Now we've got the ropes and are tied together in single file, always a strong, young people in between, and so ordered. .. They have used all day, until we come over because of the yoke. It was then cleared and the sun was shining. And as we have seen below .. the Americans with the truck - certainly Jews. .. I have the newspaper, 50 year later - Since no one, no authority - as if something had happened, they would have had us right in the fold. So there was grace in the forest - this is in the lowlands because of Hall somewhere - away from because they are gone. And there are up to come out, has the authority implied .. completely kept out. And the French too. That was not nice. They all had been passed on to us if something had happened. But we could return them? That would have been certain death for many. There is - three or four times yet come such a boost. And as we were on the way, as saying: "We have always been Jews in the summer." I say - and here again, in the upper mountain to the burner, as they are over and the Zillertal valley and the High Court above. And most of Carinthia. So, 300,000 Jews had been since so gschleust across the border. - In what year was that? That was in - so I've come to Obergurgl early 1947th And that's been his 1948 or 1949.
