Very often we would look up in the sky and would hear planes. We would see a Japanese fighter plane and an American plane up in the sky. Watching them, we would bet with marbles sometimes as to who would win. Now when I think back to it, it was kind of foolish. But, at the time we didn't think so.

When we found out the war was over in Europe, there was great rejoicing that Germany had surrendered. But of course, we were still at war in the Pacific theater. It would take a few months yet until the war was over. Unfortunately, about a few weeks before that, the ghetto was bombed. It was an overcast day and they had two targets in mind.
