”Distracted by the speed with which the Jewish Quarter was being destroyed, I almost missed the terrified little girl running down the street. In her terror she bared her teeth like a trapped animal.” |

”I was seven and a half at the time. I was alone at home, because my mother had gone to the synagogue with the rest of the children, forgetting about me in the general confusion. I took a few matzohs from the table and went outside, the street was filled with Arab soldiers and the Quarter was on fire.” |
