That idea, that they will return, that I am near them, is what keeps me going. I could not stay away from this place, there is no beauty that could lure me away from or compare to living here.”

“I am grateful to God that we found peace (at the memorial cemetery), that we have a place where we can go to visit them and say a prayer for them. To visit them, that is the most important thing. Trust me, I no longer know what to say. It is a wonder that we can speak at all. For 30 years, every (July) 11th reminds us of that day when we tried to escape.”

They are gone and there is nothing you can do about it.”
