  • "...1944 in Vilna and in the post war time, Tamar [cousin of Samuel] refused to walk with me unless her dilapidated teddybear came along.
    I often ended up (to my great shame, I was 10, 11. . . .) carrying it, nonchalantly, and holding it by one of its legs.
    Later I would punish the cousins nasty bears by turning them to stone and breaking them up..."
