00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,748
Why is the Topf & Sons – Builders of the Auschwitz Ovens – Place of Remembrance important to you?

2
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:09,247
That has to do primarily with Raul Hilberg.

3
00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:13,308
It was through him that I came to Topf & Sons.

4
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,720
The builders of the Auschwitz ovens.

5
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:21,207
And through them, I realized

6
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,488
that this would be the perfect place for my library.

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:26,760
And I always say:

8
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,500
Hilberg would have enjoyed knowing his books were here.

9
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,400
The site caught my attention especially

10
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,347
 because there are a few people here,

11
00:00:39,420 --> 00:00:40,320
young women,

12
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,728
who have invested a lot of effort and a lot of enthusiasm

13
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,700
into putting this whole thing together.

14
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,140
And I admire that deeply,

15
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:54,204
because I know how much initiative and energy it takes to do something like this.
