I went to the first museum in the world related to the holocaust....the museum of the ghetto resistance fighters.
Memorable story by a polish Jew.
At age 13 her mother, during German occupation...took her to a polish family and got her work there.
The family asked her to take the cows to pasture but she had no experience with cows and was afraid of them but she managed with the help of a boy in the fields.
She was asked by the family if she was Jewish.
She acted insulted and claimed she was polish.
But that night she apparently dreamt in Yiddish and talked in her sleep.
Because the father and mother kicked her out and told her that all night she had spoken Yiddish in her sleep.
So before going to another polish family to work
She taught herself to THINK in Yiddish so if she dreamt and talked in her sleep it would be in Polish.
Survivor! "Yiddishe sechel"
