AI: And you mentioned that you also had gotten married.

WW: Yes.

AI: And, so when was that?

WW: I was married in 1962.

AI: And did you have children?

WW: We have two children, yes, a boy and a girl, in that order. Son was born in 1964, and daughter 1965.

AI: So as your children were growing up, did you ever tell them that, at one time, that you and your parents had been in camps in World War II? Or did you talk to your children at all about any of that background?

WW: I don't recall telling them too much. Might have mentioned it, however, I didn't talk to them a lot about it, or tell them my feelings about it, or the effect that I thought that it had on me. I just didn't delve into it. Pretty much the way my parents handled it, I believe.

AI: Right.

WW: Not to, didn't talk about it too much, really.
