There was a lady in Awitz. Her name was
Kana.
Kana's entire family was destroyed, was
killed in the hands of the devil by the
Nazis.
And she miraculously,
although she wanted to not many times
survive, but she survived the war.
She lost everything
and finally when the war came to an end
all she wanted to do was to rebuild was
to restart was to build a family
over kids were killed
and she looked and looked and she found
another
man went through the same thing lost his
entire family they got married
months
years went by
no kids.
Waiting, waiting, waiting.
No kids.
She was so distraught. And those
feelings that she felt back in Awitz,
of not wanting to live resurfaced
very strongly.
And many times she would just think,
"What do you want from me? How much more
can I endure? How much pain, how much
more suffering
can I go through? I lost my entire
family. All my children, my husband, my
parents were killed. It's finally a
time. The war is over and I can rebuild.
I have the opportunity.
And I'm waiting for children. And it's
been years. And every night she would
cry and cry
until the unthinkable, the unimaginable
struck.
One Friday she went out shopping for
Chabis,
went for chicken, went for fish,
and she left a pot on the stove
simmering in her house.
Totally forgot about it.
And boom, entire house up in flames.
Her neighbors were well aware of
her inner turmoil, her and her husband,
how they lost everything in the war. How
they had no children now. How all they
want to do is rebuild.
And now in front of the neighbor's eyes,
they see that her house is in flames, is
on fire, and all her possessions,
anything that she had, any remnants,
heirlooms, possessions that she was able
to salvage from the war, all gone.
They didn't know what to do. They didn't
know how she was going to come home.
She's going to see she's going to kill
herself.
And they decided there was a great
saddic known as the great the
ravaganski.
And they went to her mut. They ran and
they said her mut
they said Kana is going to come home any
minute. She will pasha take a gun to her
head if she see what's going on.
Tell us what to do.
And her m was game time decision. It's
literally this lady will take a gun and
end her life if she comes home and sees
this scene
of her house in flames. the last thing
that she had
gone in front of her eyes. Went off
shopping for Shabas, forgot a pot, and
now her house is being taken from her.
And her mother thinks for a few minutes
and says very clearly, you go run to her
first
and you tell her
that if she's going to be this
if she's going to be accept the
circumstance of the situation, I promise
you and I promise her it's mu she will

she says, "What?" Like, "What can

"Listen, your house is currently on
fire.
There's nothing left." And she starts
breaking down.
She starts fainting, going unconscious.
And they say before

the courage the
