I'm doing well.
My best friend's grandmother was a Holocaust survivor. He and I would go during the summer and on weekends (during school) to help her setup her restaurant in the mornings. Even though she spoke mostly English, she'd wander through German, Yiddish and Hebrew. So through a lot of translation I started to pick up the languages. I already spoke German so that really wasn't an issue. After a few years, what ever the language de jure was, I could keep up. I've largely lost all of the languages I've learned as I've aged and not used them.

That’s so interesting!
 
My grandmother’s best friend was an Auschwitz survivor from Transylvania. She only had 2 children, a son who lived in Israel and an unmarried daughter. My grandmother would bring me and my sister to visit her and she became another grandmother to us. She loved chickens especially roosters. Sadly she passed away almost 5 years ago and I never found out why she loved chickens so much.

Having birds yourself, you can surmise why she loved them. It's kind of amazing how people we get to know can make a long term impact on our lives.

I guess she must have had a flock before her family was transported. We had a Light Brahma hen in our first flock named for her.
 
I have fond memories of playing in her backyard with my sister while my grandmother, her friend, & my parents sat on the porch and they talked about her time during the war. I was too young to understand what they were talking about. I didn’t comprehend the Holocaust until I was in 10th grade. By then her mind wasn’t what it used to be. I have so many questions I want to ask her.
