Translator: Faisal Gazali Reviewer: Prameswari Rahmanu

It really makes a difference what we say.

Apa yang kita katakan berpengaruh.

I learned this from a woman who survived Auschwitz.

Aku tahu ini dari wanita yang selamat dari Auschwitz.

She went to Auschwitz when she was fifteen years old,

Dia ke Auschwitz saat usia 15 tahun,

and her brother was eight, and the parents were lost.

adik laki-lakinya delapan tahun, dan orang tuanya menghilang.

And she told me this,

Dia bercerita padaku,

"We were in the train going to Auschwitz,

"Kami di kereta menuju Auschwitz,

and I looked down, and I saw my brother's shoes were missing.

aku lihat ke bawah, dan aku lihat sepatu adikku hilang.

And I said, 'Why are you so stupid?

Aku berkata, 'Kenapa kau bodoh?

Can't you keep your things together?

Tak bisa jaga barangmu sendiri?

For goodness sake!'

Ya, Tuhan!'

The way an elder sister might speak to a younger brother."

Cerewetnya kakak kepada adiknya."

Unfortunately, it was the last thing she ever said to him

Sayangnya, itulah kata terakhir untuknya

because she never saw him again.

karena mereka tidak pernah bertemu lagi.

He did not survive.

Adiknya tidak selamat.

And so when she came out of Auschwitz, she made a vow.

Sehingga saat dia keluar dari Auschwitz, dia membuat sumpah.

She said, "I walked out of Auschwitz into life.

Dia berkata, "Aku keluar Auschwitz menuju kehidupan.

And the vow was,

Dan sumpahnya,

"I will never say anything that couldn't stand

"Aku tak akan katakan apa pun yang tak akan menjadi

as the last thing I ever say."

kata-kata terakhirku."

Now, can we do that? No.

Bisakah kita juga? Tidak.

But it is a possibility to live in to.

Namun, mungkin patut dicoba.

Thank you.

Terima kasih.
