Hope:
Doctor Friedman from the Holocaust center didn’t just bring the
diary with her, she also brought a little bit of hope with her.
‘We thought that she died, but the we found a document which
says that she was alive in September of 1945, and it’s signed by
her.
‘Maybe she recovered, maybe”
‘So that’s why we’re thinking, this was written almost 9 months
after the end of the war, and it certifies that she was alive, while
you thought that she was dead.
‘Is it possible that she didn’t die in the hospital?’
‘We don’t know. Why is there documentation of her being alive
in September? What happened to her? Did she pass away, or
didn’t she? We just don’t know.’
‘If it’s like this, I don’t know’
67 years after last seeing her, Esther and Mina will now try and
look for Rivka. The odds are slim, they know, but they hang on
to the diary that she left behind, a 14 years old diary that
manages to show an entire life.
‘I am nothing but a small dot that’s hard to see even through
a microscope. But, I laugh at the whole world- I am Jewish,
I’m poor in the Ghetto, and I don’t know what will happen
with me tomorrow. And despite that, I laugh at the world,
because I have a something very big to lean back on- faith.’
