Now, almost 12 month later, I cannot believe how fast this year went and how much I learned from you. You gave me advice for my life, you always told me to think positive, you taught me about the Holocaust, and how important it is not to forget the Shoah. I was very touched from all your emotional and incredible stories and I am very thankful for sharing those with me. I will tell them to my friends and family in Germany. It is not easy for me to say Goodbye, because it was always a pleasure for me to visit and talk to you. But I will keep all the good memories of you in my mind and I will never forget you. You are all such great people. I wish you all the best! Sven
