Incredible.
And my dad, the same thing.
You know, his story is incredible.
This man was a man of multi-talented, but, you know, he grew up as a furrier because he was, you know, in the Jewish family.
the first son, the first boy, you know, because he tries to become a doctor.
They tried to give him an education.
The second, my dad had to go and work with a family.
That's how it is.
So from the age of six, seven years old, he was already starting to work and help, you know, the mother and my grandfather, you know, as a furrier, you know, to do things.
And, uh,
So he, during the war, which is crazy if you think of it, you know, he, I mean, first of all, should I talk about that for a minute?
It's right here.
I mean, it's insane.
I mean, this is a man who was barely educated for a long time.
He was really purely educated as a master furrier.
I mean, he learned from my grandfather, you know, the trade and so on.
But when he was in his 20s...
You would think that how do you, how do you, you know, the war started and, you know, what makes you fight and become a part of the resistance?
You would think, well, he wrote a book, my dad, after a while.
And, you know, and in his book, he says that basically the story was that he fell in love with a girl.
