00:01:24,475 --> 00:01:26,510
Bessie. Bess.

4
00:01:26,644 --> 00:01:29,213
Wake up. We overslept.

5
00:01:29,346 --> 00:01:31,748
Oy.

6
00:01:38,755 --> 00:01:40,357
You look tired.

7
00:01:41,091 --> 00:01:41,824
Thanks.

8
00:01:51,534 --> 00:01:55,037
She's been looking
at this Moishe for a long time.

9
00:01:55,171 --> 00:01:56,905
I noticed.

10
00:01:57,039 --> 00:01:59,007
Problem is
he doesn't look at her.

11
00:01:59,142 --> 00:02:00,876
She looks at him.

12
00:02:03,346 --> 00:02:06,416
Did you know that
they're renovating the elevator?

13
00:02:07,183 --> 00:02:08,650
You know
what happened?

14
00:02:08,783 --> 00:02:11,587
Four times I got stuck there.

15
00:02:11,719 --> 00:02:13,054
- Me. Why me?
- Wow.

16
00:02:13,188 --> 00:02:14,656
I was yelling.

17
00:02:14,789 --> 00:02:16,425
I was hitting the button.

18
00:02:16,558 --> 00:02:18,260
"Somebody, come help."

19
00:02:18,393 --> 00:02:19,428
No. Nothing.

20
00:02:19,561 --> 00:02:21,163
-Nothing, nothing, nothing.
-Ugh. Oh.

21
00:02:21,296 --> 00:02:22,763
This is the last time
this is happening.

22
00:02:22,897 --> 00:02:23,864
We're going to sue them.

23
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:28,370
- Let's see how that feels.
- Oh.

24
00:02:28,503 --> 00:02:29,937
They won't like it,

25
00:02:30,071 --> 00:02:33,773
but it'll be a nice,
new elevator when it's fixed.

26
00:02:33,907 --> 00:02:35,276
That's true.

27
00:02:35,409 --> 00:02:37,077
That is true.

28
00:02:43,984 --> 00:02:46,420
I tell you,
I saw her the other day.

29
00:02:47,255 --> 00:02:49,223
- Blonde.
- Rebecca?

30
00:02:49,357 --> 00:02:50,091
Yeah.

31
00:02:50,224 --> 00:02:52,293
Suddenly, she became a blondie.

32
00:02:53,628 --> 00:02:55,328
To think that
she's gonna find somebody,

33
00:02:55,462 --> 00:02:56,529
she's gonna marry...

34
00:02:56,663 --> 00:02:59,132
Well, you can't say
when love might happen.

35
00:02:59,266 --> 00:03:01,635
Oh, no.
Gives me heartburn.

36
00:03:01,767 --> 00:03:04,371
You always say that.

37
00:03:04,504 --> 00:03:07,674
-The kosher place is, um...
-You like... you like that?

38
00:03:07,806 --> 00:03:09,376
-Oh, yes.
-Okay.

39
00:03:09,509 --> 00:03:11,278
-Best chicken in the world.
-Mm.

40
00:03:12,612 --> 00:03:13,979
Okay. All right.

41
00:03:14,114 --> 00:03:15,981
-We'll go rest for a while.
-Oh, my goodness.

42
00:03:21,287 --> 00:03:23,455
Oh, you're
in good shape, Bessie.

43
00:03:23,589 --> 00:03:25,090
So are you.

44
00:03:25,224 --> 00:03:27,593
What are we gonna have
for dinner tonight?

45
00:03:28,294 --> 00:03:29,861
Chicken.

46
00:04:02,694 --> 00:04:04,195
Excuse me.

47
00:04:05,363 --> 00:04:07,331
Where are
the Claussen's Kosher?

48
00:04:07,464 --> 00:04:09,633
They're supposed
to be right here.

49
00:04:09,766 --> 00:04:11,201
I guess we're out.

50
00:04:12,034 --> 00:04:13,270
Hello.

51
00:04:13,403 --> 00:04:15,439
Uh, do... do you have
in the back maybe?

52
00:04:15,572 --> 00:04:19,476
Well, we have a bunch
of other pickles right here,

53
00:04:19,609 --> 00:04:23,213
and, honestly, I think
all pickles taste the same.

54
00:04:23,347 --> 00:04:24,980
Excuse me?

55
00:04:25,115 --> 00:04:26,616
Eleanor. No.

56
00:04:26,750 --> 00:04:30,186
Are you listening to this?
"All pickles are the same."

57
00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:31,354
I heard.

58
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:32,854
Hey...

59
00:04:32,987 --> 00:04:35,091
"Charlie."

60
00:04:35,224 --> 00:04:37,025
Nice name.

61
00:04:37,159 --> 00:04:39,528
How long you been
working here, Charlie?

62
00:04:40,895 --> 00:04:43,566
I don't know, like...
few weeks?

63
00:04:43,699 --> 00:04:44,899
That's cute.

64
00:04:45,033 --> 00:04:46,769
Well, yesterday
was delivery day.

65
00:04:46,901 --> 00:04:48,404
And you know
how I know that?

66
00:04:48,537 --> 00:04:50,972
Because we've been
coming here every Friday

67
00:04:51,107 --> 00:04:53,308
for the last 16 years.

68
00:04:53,441 --> 00:04:55,909
Can you count to 16, Charlie?

69
00:04:56,043 --> 00:04:57,278
-Well, of course I...
-Ah!

70
00:04:57,412 --> 00:04:59,614
Here's what you're gonna do.

71
00:04:59,748 --> 00:05:01,249
You're gonna go to the back.

72
00:05:01,383 --> 00:05:05,520
Bessie, point to the back
so Charlie doesn't get lost.

73
00:05:05,653 --> 00:05:08,623
You're gonna turn left
at the shampoo.

74
00:05:08,757 --> 00:05:10,492
Go all the way down the aisle.

75
00:05:10,625 --> 00:05:15,530
Now, I know it's complicated,
Charlie, but stay with me,

76
00:05:15,663 --> 00:05:20,300
and you'll find the pickles
that my friend needs, okay?

77
00:05:20,434 --> 00:05:22,236
Okay, go fetch.

78
00:05:26,807 --> 00:05:28,409
Look at you.

79
00:05:36,350 --> 00:05:38,050
Do either of you ever smile?

80
00:05:38,185 --> 00:05:41,120
-Hitler took my smile.
-Mine, too.

81
00:05:42,455 --> 00:05:43,823
Oh, please.

82
00:05:43,955 --> 00:05:45,991
Do you have something to say?

83
00:05:46,125 --> 00:05:48,294
You're from the Bronx, Eleanor.

84
00:05:48,428 --> 00:05:51,164
Yeah, does that mean
that I can't be sad

85
00:05:51,297 --> 00:05:52,899
about the Holocaust?

86
00:05:53,031 --> 00:05:58,069
Bessie, tell Ivan I can be sad
about the Holocaust.

87
00:05:58,204 --> 00:06:00,038
She can be sad
about the Holocaust.

88
00:06:00,173 --> 00:06:02,809
But it's not the same.
You weren't there.

89
00:06:02,941 --> 00:06:04,643
Well, neither were you.

90
00:06:04,776 --> 00:06:06,043
I never said I was.

91
00:06:06,178 --> 00:06:09,514
Bessie, is Ivan yelling at me?

92
00:06:09,648 --> 00:06:11,750
Bessie? Bessie!

93
00:06:11,883 --> 00:06:13,485
I'm sorry, Mrs. Stern.

94
00:06:13,618 --> 00:06:15,520
Rounds are taking
a little longer than expected,

95
00:06:15,654 --> 00:06:18,055
but the doctor shouldn't be
more than an hour.

96
00:06:18,190 --> 00:06:20,492
You have no idea, have you?

97
00:06:21,460 --> 00:06:24,095
The Stern Wing of Neurology.

98
00:06:24,229 --> 00:06:26,030
Bessie Stern.

99
00:06:26,565 --> 00:06:27,898
Oh.

100
00:06:28,031 --> 00:06:30,100
Oh, my God. I am so sorry.

101
00:06:30,234 --> 00:06:31,735
I'll page
the doctor immediately.

102
00:06:31,869 --> 00:06:34,104
-That's okay. Thank you.
-Uh, she's concussed.

103
00:06:34,238 --> 00:06:36,640
Don't listen to her.
That'll be great.

104
00:06:36,774 --> 00:06:40,511
And some ice pops.
Red ones, two each.

105
00:06:46,350 --> 00:06:48,953
Come on.
It's a common last name.

106
00:06:49,086 --> 00:06:50,354
How's she gonna know?

107
00:06:50,488 --> 00:06:52,956
You have to stop
doing that, El.

108
00:06:53,089 --> 00:06:54,990
You're interesting enough.

109
00:06:55,124 --> 00:06:57,927
You don't have to lie
about who you are.

110
00:06:58,060 --> 00:06:59,829
It's not a real lie.

111
00:06:59,963 --> 00:07:01,997
I mean, I'm not hurting anyone.

112
00:07:02,131 --> 00:07:05,668
Besides, I'm lying
about who you are.

113
00:07:05,802 --> 00:07:07,103
Oh, yeah?

114
00:07:07,237 --> 00:07:09,105
Well, I'm interesting
enough, too.

115
00:07:09,239 --> 00:07:10,707
My God, Bessie.

116
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,175
Roger's back.

117
00:07:12,308 --> 00:07:13,476
Welcome back.

118
00:07:13,610 --> 00:07:15,009
<i>I'm Roger Davis,</i>

119
00:07:15,143 --> 00:07:17,412
<i>and this is</i>
The Fabric of New York.

120
00:07:17,546 --> 00:07:19,515
<i>In a heartwarming tale</i>
<i>of reconciliation...</i>

121
00:07:19,648 --> 00:07:22,384
Why,
he doesn't seem sad?

122
00:07:22,518 --> 00:07:25,220
You know what? He is sad.
He's just brave.

123
00:07:25,354 --> 00:07:27,556
Ah.

124
00:07:27,689 --> 00:07:29,725
Oh, and handsome.
Oy, oy, oy.

125
00:07:29,858 --> 00:07:31,593
A little gaunt.

126
00:07:31,727 --> 00:07:35,464
Mm. Remember how much weight
you lost after Harry died?

127
00:07:35,597 --> 00:07:37,966
Best I ever looked.

128
00:07:38,100 --> 00:07:39,500
Oh.

129
00:07:39,634 --> 00:07:42,904
His wife was Jewish, you know?

130
00:07:43,036 --> 00:07:44,972
I heard. From you.

131
00:07:46,507 --> 00:07:49,176
Terrible about what happened
to her, though.

132
00:07:50,043 --> 00:07:52,446
Happens to all of us.

133
00:07:52,580 --> 00:07:54,916
Not everyone
gets to be a hundred.

134
00:07:55,048 --> 00:07:56,751
Stop that.

135
00:07:56,884 --> 00:07:58,586
You're gonna be fine.

136
00:09:30,407 --> 00:09:32,342
Taking a trip, Eleanor?

137
00:09:32,476 --> 00:09:34,144
Moving home, actually.

138
00:09:34,277 --> 00:09:36,412
To New York? You?

139
00:09:36,545 --> 00:09:38,948
Well, you know,
my daughter's been begging me

140
00:09:39,082 --> 00:09:41,517
to move in with her
for the longest time.

141
00:09:41,651 --> 00:09:43,152
You mean the kid
who's hooked on Adderall

142
00:09:43,285 --> 00:09:45,287
or the one
who doesn't talk to you?

143
00:09:48,290 --> 00:09:50,760
Nice knowing you, Clarice.

144
00:09:51,661 --> 00:09:54,597
Oh, say goodbye
to Melvin for me.

145
00:09:54,730 --> 00:09:56,065
Ah.

146
00:09:56,198 --> 00:10:00,001
Oh, we had such a wonderful time
the other night.

147
00:10:00,136 --> 00:10:02,504
He's very strong.

148
00:10:02,637 --> 00:10:04,773
You're so full
of shit, Eleanor.

149
00:10:04,906 --> 00:10:06,174
Yeah?

150
00:10:07,609 --> 00:10:09,277
<i>How long's</i>
<i>Bubbe staying?</i>

151
00:10:09,411 --> 00:10:12,814
Uh, I'm... like,
I'm thinking a month or two.

152
00:10:12,947 --> 00:10:15,084
You know, I need to convince her
that she's better off

153
00:10:15,216 --> 00:10:17,419
living in one of those, um...

154
00:10:17,552 --> 00:10:19,454
-One... One of the...
-Uh, stop it.

155
00:10:19,587 --> 00:10:21,823
-She always loves your ideas.
-Max, give me a break.

156
00:10:21,956 --> 00:10:22,891
Oh. Oh, oh, oh. Hey, hey.

157
00:10:23,024 --> 00:10:24,092
- Hey.
- Hi.

158
00:10:24,224 --> 00:10:25,093
-Hey.
-Hey.

159
00:10:25,225 --> 00:10:26,293
I see you.

160
00:10:27,995 --> 00:10:29,130
I can help you with this.

161
00:10:29,263 --> 00:10:31,198
No. No, no, it's fine.

162
00:10:31,331 --> 00:10:33,000
Oh, boy.

163
00:10:33,134 --> 00:10:34,902
-Oh, thank you.
-Yeah.

164
00:10:35,035 --> 00:10:37,604
Oh.

165
00:10:40,007 --> 00:10:41,142
Are you okay?

166
00:10:41,275 --> 00:10:42,676
Yeah. Great.
How was your flight?

167
00:10:42,810 --> 00:10:45,646
Is she feeding you?
What's going on?

168
00:10:45,779 --> 00:10:46,714
Are you cold?

169
00:10:46,847 --> 00:10:48,981
No, we're inside, Ma.
He's not cold.

170
00:10:49,116 --> 00:10:50,349
You cut your hair, I see.

171
00:10:50,483 --> 00:10:52,685
-Yeah. You like it?
-Yeah.

172
00:10:52,819 --> 00:10:54,520
I liked it better
when it was long.

173
00:10:54,654 --> 00:10:57,590
-So, where's the car?
-Uh, we're taking an Uber.

174
00:10:57,724 --> 00:11:00,960
-Oh. So, Dave got the car?
-No, that's not what I said.

175
00:11:01,095 --> 00:11:02,395
So, Maxie, did your dad

176
00:11:02,528 --> 00:11:03,529
-get the car?
-Um, it...

177
00:11:03,663 --> 00:11:06,032
Anyway, hold that thought.

178
00:11:06,166 --> 00:11:07,633
I'm going to the bathroom,

179
00:11:07,767 --> 00:11:10,969
and you can tell me all about it
in the Uber.

180
00:11:14,773 --> 00:11:17,809
She's gonna live forever.

181
00:11:19,845 --> 00:11:21,313
I know.

182
00:11:29,855 --> 00:11:31,157
First time here?

183
00:11:31,289 --> 00:11:32,824
God, no.

184
00:11:32,958 --> 00:11:34,925
I lived in the Bronx
for 40 years

185
00:11:35,059 --> 00:11:38,329
before my husband and I
moved to Florida.

186
00:11:39,630 --> 00:11:41,432
Well, in that case,
welcome home.

187
00:11:43,667 --> 00:11:46,337
Never lived
in Manhattan, though.

188
00:11:47,304 --> 00:11:49,540
I'm 94 years old,

189
00:11:49,673 --> 00:11:53,577
and I'm moving to Manhattan
for the first time today.

190
00:11:55,346 --> 00:11:56,580
I live in Staten.

191
00:11:58,249 --> 00:12:00,316
My condolences.

192
00:12:17,967 --> 00:12:20,937
Tell me again,
why do you live here?

193
00:12:21,071 --> 00:12:23,338
Oh, this is
a great apartment, Ma.

194
00:12:23,472 --> 00:12:24,540
Thanks.

195
00:12:24,673 --> 00:12:26,408
We're practically eating dinner

196
00:12:26,542 --> 00:12:29,011
smack-dab in the middle
of the FDR.

197
00:12:29,145 --> 00:12:30,879
The fumes can't be good.

198
00:12:31,013 --> 00:12:32,581
It's affordable, Ma.

199
00:12:32,714 --> 00:12:34,416
How inconvenient is that?

200
00:12:34,550 --> 00:12:35,851
I like it.

201
00:12:36,552 --> 00:12:39,454
Is he being sarcastic?

202
00:12:39,588 --> 00:12:41,224
Oh.

203
00:12:41,356 --> 00:12:42,491
Maxie.

204
00:12:42,624 --> 00:12:44,294
You're at SUNY now.

205
00:12:44,426 --> 00:12:46,360
-Is it good? Do you like it?
-Um...

206
00:12:46,494 --> 00:12:48,130
I think I'll make
Shabbat next week.

207
00:12:48,263 --> 00:12:49,931
That is, if everybody is free.

208
00:12:50,065 --> 00:12:51,532
Uh, no, I got plans, Ma.

209
00:12:51,666 --> 00:12:53,634
-A date?
-No.

210
00:12:53,768 --> 00:12:55,903
Have you started dating again?

211
00:12:57,206 --> 00:12:58,840
Ma.

212
00:12:58,973 --> 00:13:02,043
Uh, he knows.
You think he doesn't know?

213
00:13:02,177 --> 00:13:05,080
Maxie, your mother dated up
a storm in high school.

214
00:13:05,214 --> 00:13:07,615
- Oh.
- Uh, always sneaking boys

215
00:13:07,748 --> 00:13:09,116
-in at night.
-I'm good, thanks.

216
00:13:09,250 --> 00:13:11,518
And what was it those kids
used to call you, Lisa?

217
00:13:11,651 --> 00:13:13,653
-Ma!
-Something very rude.

218
00:13:13,787 --> 00:13:16,090
-Funny but rude.
-Ma.

219
00:13:16,224 --> 00:13:17,158
-Ma!
-What?

220
00:13:17,291 --> 00:13:18,992
Please stop!

221
00:13:25,699 --> 00:13:26,933
"The class mattress!"

222
00:13:27,068 --> 00:13:28,768
That's what it was!

223
00:13:28,902 --> 00:13:30,204
Um, I'll come
to Shabbat, Bubbe.

224
00:13:30,338 --> 00:13:32,372
Oh, one good Jew
in the family.

225
00:13:32,505 --> 00:13:33,906
Thank you, Maxie.

226
00:13:34,039 --> 00:13:36,609
And I'll make that braised
gorgel that you like.

227
00:13:36,742 --> 00:13:37,977
How does that sound?

228
00:13:38,111 --> 00:13:39,612
Yeah, great.

229
00:13:41,214 --> 00:13:42,648
You know, my trainer
was telling me about

230
00:13:42,781 --> 00:13:44,617
her mom's building in Bay Ridge.

231
00:13:44,750 --> 00:13:47,052
Sounds... it sounds great
for people your age.

232
00:13:47,187 --> 00:13:49,722
Why? Do they have
a morgue on-site?

233
00:13:50,689 --> 00:13:52,424
Also, I signed you up

234
00:13:52,558 --> 00:13:55,161
for the Broadway
singing squad at the JCC.

235
00:13:55,295 --> 00:13:57,462
I judged the morgue prematurely.

236
00:13:57,595 --> 00:13:59,131
I can see that now.

237
00:14:01,966 --> 00:14:04,270
What is this piece
of equipment?

238
00:14:04,402 --> 00:14:05,703
Who lives like this?

239
00:14:05,837 --> 00:14:08,073
That's an exercise bike, Ma.

240
00:14:08,207 --> 00:14:10,642
I moved it in here
when Max left for college.

241
00:14:10,775 --> 00:14:12,543
And when we find you a place,

242
00:14:12,677 --> 00:14:14,246
I'm gonna use this room
to work out in.

243
00:14:14,380 --> 00:14:16,115
Oh, great.

244
00:14:18,416 --> 00:14:21,618
Hold on.
Where did you get these?

245
00:14:21,752 --> 00:14:23,620
Oh, oh, I found
all of these old photos

246
00:14:23,754 --> 00:14:26,423
in storage with a bunch
of Daddy's old stuff.

247
00:14:26,556 --> 00:14:28,359
-Oh.
-Yeah.

248
00:14:29,394 --> 00:14:32,729
Would you go to Coney Island
with me tomorrow?

249
00:14:34,098 --> 00:14:36,401
Tomorrow is Thursday, Ma.
I got work.

250
00:14:36,533 --> 00:14:38,669
Oh, come on,
how important could it be?

251
00:14:38,802 --> 00:14:43,374
I have a huge restaurant opening
at Lincoln Center.

252
00:14:43,506 --> 00:14:45,942
What am I gonna do here
all day alone?

253
00:14:46,076 --> 00:14:49,478
I signed you up
for a class at the JCC.

254
00:14:50,746 --> 00:14:52,448
Maybe you'll make friends.

255
00:14:53,083 --> 00:14:54,550

Oh, God.

299
00:17:20,590 --> 00:17:21,525
Oh.

300
00:17:21,658 --> 00:17:23,494
Come on, you.

301
00:17:23,626 --> 00:17:25,595
Do you need help with that?

302
00:17:25,728 --> 00:17:28,265
I'd pay you a million bucks.

303
00:17:31,033 --> 00:17:34,437
My friend had a sweater
like that.

304
00:17:34,571 --> 00:17:35,871
<i>Farkakte</i> zipper.

305
00:17:36,004 --> 00:17:38,807
You just have to shake it
around a little.

306
00:17:38,941 --> 00:17:40,909
Would you look at that?

307
00:17:41,043 --> 00:17:43,712
Thank you. You're very kind.

308
00:17:45,681 --> 00:17:48,084
We all got to look out
for each other.

309
00:17:51,588 --> 00:17:52,753
You coming?

310
00:17:52,887 --> 00:17:55,290
You're here
for the group, right?

311
00:17:55,424 --> 00:17:57,292
Yes. Yes.

312
00:17:57,426 --> 00:17:58,626
Don't worry.

313
00:17:58,759 --> 00:18:01,929
The first time
is always the hardest.

314
00:18:02,064 --> 00:18:04,266
I'm glad you found us.

315
00:18:05,601 --> 00:18:06,934
Come.

316
00:18:08,035 --> 00:18:09,238
Come on.

317
00:18:11,540 --> 00:18:12,508
Come on.

318
00:18:23,050 --> 00:18:25,186
I'll just sign in now.

319
00:18:25,319 --> 00:18:26,387
Okay.

320
00:18:28,122 --> 00:18:30,057
Oh.

321
00:18:55,315 --> 00:18:56,316
Okay.

322
00:19:11,696 --> 00:19:13,232
Hi, everyone.

323
00:19:13,365 --> 00:19:15,634
Hi, April.

324
00:19:15,767 --> 00:19:17,636
It's great to see you.

325
00:19:17,769 --> 00:19:22,074
Before we check in, I just want
to introduce you all to Nina.

326
00:19:22,208 --> 00:19:25,144
Go ahead and introduce yourself
to the group, hon.

327
00:19:26,312 --> 00:19:29,247
Um, well, first of all, I...
I just want to say

328
00:19:29,380 --> 00:19:31,848
thank you for letting me
join you.

329
00:19:31,982 --> 00:19:35,486
Um, I'm a sophomore at NYU,
and I'm here

330
00:19:35,620 --> 00:19:38,323
'cause I'm writing an article
for my journalism class.

331
00:19:38,989 --> 00:19:40,958
I'm... I'm just here to observe.

332
00:19:42,759 --> 00:19:45,963
April, we also have
a new member.

333
00:19:46,664 --> 00:19:47,965
A lot of newbies today.

334
00:19:48,099 --> 00:19:50,201
Why don't you
introduce yourself?

335
00:19:50,335 --> 00:19:51,968
Hi.

336
00:19:54,538 --> 00:19:56,473
I'm Eleanor.

337
00:19:56,607 --> 00:19:58,007
Hi, Eleanor.

338
00:19:58,141 --> 00:20:00,344
I'll explain a little
of what goes on here

339
00:20:00,477 --> 00:20:02,212
before we jump in, okay?

340
00:20:02,346 --> 00:20:05,382
We're a support group,
first and foremost.

341
00:20:05,515 --> 00:20:09,319
Sometimes we write about
our time in the Holocaust,

342
00:20:09,453 --> 00:20:12,222
but most of the time,
we just share.

343
00:20:13,156 --> 00:20:15,057
What about the Holocaust?

344
00:20:15,191 --> 00:20:18,094
Just about your experience
as a survivor.

345
00:20:18,227 --> 00:20:19,861
How you move
through the world

346
00:20:19,995 --> 00:20:23,132
having been through
what you have.

347
00:20:23,266 --> 00:20:26,402
The purpose of the Holocaust
Survivors Support Group

348
00:20:26,535 --> 00:20:29,438
is just to speak freely.

349
00:20:29,572 --> 00:20:31,407
Uh, oh.

350
00:20:31,540 --> 00:20:32,475
Oh, I'm sorry.

351
00:20:32,608 --> 00:20:34,310
Eleanor. Eleanor.

352
00:20:34,443 --> 00:20:36,212
Stay. Stay.

353
00:20:36,345 --> 00:20:39,414
I understand
it's emotional.

354
00:20:39,547 --> 00:20:43,652
Most people don't understand
how alienating surviving can be,

355
00:20:43,784 --> 00:20:45,886
how alone you can feel,

356
00:20:46,020 --> 00:20:48,690
but you don't have to be alone.

357
00:20:48,822 --> 00:20:50,592
Not anymore.

358
00:20:50,725 --> 00:20:52,893
Why don't you just tell us
where you're from?

359
00:20:55,996 --> 00:20:57,432
Well, I...

360
00:21:04,505 --> 00:21:08,075
I... I'm from Poland,
originally.

361
00:21:08,208 --> 00:21:09,942
Mm.

362
00:21:10,077 --> 00:21:12,845
Do you want to tell us
a little about your family?

363
00:21:15,848 --> 00:21:20,287
Well, my parents
were very kind people.

364
00:21:28,494 --> 00:21:29,495
Oy! Oy.

365
00:21:30,829 --> 00:21:32,298
Bess.

366
00:21:32,432 --> 00:21:33,700
Oy.

367
00:21:33,832 --> 00:21:34,900
Oy.

368
00:21:38,271 --> 00:21:40,673
I'm still back there.

369
00:21:54,018 --> 00:21:55,920
I see my brother,

370
00:21:56,054 --> 00:21:59,057
and we're running
in the woods and...

371
00:22:00,925 --> 00:22:02,361
I don't know.

372
00:22:04,962 --> 00:22:07,199
What have I done all this time?

373
00:22:07,766 --> 00:22:09,568
Well, more than most.

374
00:22:10,736 --> 00:22:14,138
What have I done, El, huh?
No, tell me.

375
00:22:14,271 --> 00:22:16,507
Well, you raised a family,

376
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,377
you worked at the temple...

377
00:22:19,510 --> 00:22:23,880
and you got Clarice to turn
her goddamn television down.

378
00:22:24,013 --> 00:22:26,150
He would have done much more.

379
00:22:27,151 --> 00:22:28,985
My brother.

380
00:22:30,154 --> 00:22:31,555
Such a good boy.

381
00:22:33,022 --> 00:22:34,325
Hmm.

382
00:22:36,393 --> 00:22:40,063
People look at my arm
and ask me,

383
00:22:40,797 --> 00:22:42,365
"What was it like?"

384
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,670
And all I say,
"It... It was bad."

385
00:22:50,140 --> 00:22:51,541
I never tell.

386
00:22:52,876 --> 00:22:55,678
Not even my own children.

387
00:22:55,812 --> 00:22:57,580
Well, you shouldn't have to.

388
00:22:58,681 --> 00:23:00,249
I'm the only person alive

389
00:23:00,382 --> 00:23:02,451
that knew my brother.

390
00:23:04,086 --> 00:23:06,221
And I'm going to go
into my grave

391
00:23:06,355 --> 00:23:07,922
never having told anyone

392
00:23:08,056 --> 00:23:09,458
about him.

393
00:23:10,192 --> 00:23:12,895
I want someone to know.

394
00:23:13,027 --> 00:23:15,330
<i>I should have told someone.</i>

395
00:23:16,665 --> 00:23:19,268
Why am I still here?

396
00:23:20,769 --> 00:23:24,605
Good, Eleanor.
That's a really good start.

397
00:23:24,739 --> 00:23:26,541
Sami.

398
00:23:26,674 --> 00:23:27,608
Yes?

399
00:23:27,742 --> 00:23:29,343
Want to tell us about your week?

400
00:23:29,477 --> 00:23:33,614
Absolutely, but first of all,
Eleanor, welcome to our group.

401
00:23:33,748 --> 00:23:37,518
Once you will start talking,
you will find out

402
00:23:37,652 --> 00:23:40,521
that that will be
very liberating for you.

403
00:23:40,655 --> 00:23:43,658
That has been
my personal experience.

404
00:23:44,759 --> 00:23:46,093
Welcome.

405
00:23:48,562 --> 00:23:51,030
That was beautiful,
Eleanor.

406
00:23:51,731 --> 00:23:52,899
See you next week?

407
00:23:53,032 --> 00:23:54,967
Sure, sure.

408
00:23:59,506 --> 00:24:00,807
Oh, Eleanor. Hi.

409
00:24:00,941 --> 00:24:02,476
Hi. I'm Nina.

410
00:24:03,343 --> 00:24:05,312
Yeah, I saw you in there.

411
00:24:05,445 --> 00:24:06,613
Right.

412
00:24:06,746 --> 00:24:08,048
Um, the way that you talked
about your brother

413
00:24:08,181 --> 00:24:09,382
was so moving.

414
00:24:10,116 --> 00:24:11,050
I... I was wonder...

415
00:24:11,183 --> 00:24:13,219
I was wondering if I, um...

416
00:24:13,352 --> 00:24:17,056
if I could feature you
in my article.

417
00:24:17,189 --> 00:24:19,492
I think not. No.

418
00:24:19,625 --> 00:24:24,296
Oh. Um, well, maybe like a...
a coffee or a phone interview?

419
00:24:24,430 --> 00:24:25,965
I would really love
to talk to you.

420
00:24:26,098 --> 00:24:27,999
Uh, I'm not interested.

421
00:25:05,302 --> 00:25:07,838
Oh. No, no.
Oh, go ahead. I'm done.

422
00:25:07,971 --> 00:25:09,206
Thanks.

423
00:25:19,516 --> 00:25:21,517
Hey, you know
who's in one of my classes?

424
00:25:22,118 --> 00:25:23,486
Hailey Reed.

425
00:25:26,122 --> 00:25:27,423
Remember her?

426
00:25:28,824 --> 00:25:30,526
From sixth grade?

427
00:25:30,660 --> 00:25:32,061
You know, the one
with the weird dad?

428
00:25:32,194 --> 00:25:33,529
Okay.

429
00:25:33,663 --> 00:25:36,165
Yeah, she's, uh,
she's in this new class I'm in.

430
00:25:36,299 --> 00:25:38,834
I think you'd like it.
It's kinda up your alley.

431
00:25:40,369 --> 00:25:42,238
Journalism and society.

432
00:25:45,373 --> 00:25:48,743
Wait, you were interested
in creative writing.

433
00:25:48,877 --> 00:25:51,613
You sure you're ready
to take on the hard news cycle?

434
00:25:51,746 --> 00:25:52,747
I know.

435
00:25:52,881 --> 00:25:54,516
You think poetry
is a waste of time.

436
00:25:54,649 --> 00:25:57,118
No. No, no.
I never said that.

437
00:25:57,252 --> 00:25:58,687
I think it's a great hobby.

438
00:25:58,820 --> 00:26:02,791
It's just, you know,
hard to make a career out of.

439
00:26:24,011 --> 00:26:25,312
Shit.

440
00:26:29,016 --> 00:26:30,951
Where were you?

441
00:26:31,086 --> 00:26:34,654
Oh, my... Mom, you scared
the shit out of me.

442
00:26:34,787 --> 00:26:36,556
You were on a date.

443
00:26:36,689 --> 00:26:39,592
I... No, I took...
Just took a walk.

444
00:26:39,726 --> 00:26:41,427
A walk? In that?

445
00:26:41,561 --> 00:26:42,895
Oh!

446
00:26:43,030 --> 00:26:44,530
Guess not.

447
00:26:44,664 --> 00:26:46,132
Oh, God.

448
00:26:46,265 --> 00:26:47,634
<i>Ms. Morgenstein,</i>
<i>do you need the paramedics?</i>

449
00:26:47,767 --> 00:26:49,335
- Say something.
- No.

450
00:26:49,469 --> 00:26:50,269
<i>If you</i>
<i>can hear me, ma'am,</i>

451
00:26:50,403 --> 00:26:51,838
help is on the way.

452
00:26:51,971 --> 00:26:53,272
No, no. Um, thank you so much.
So sorry. No, thank you.

453
00:26:53,406 --> 00:26:54,774
We're, um,
just testing the, uh...

454
00:26:54,907 --> 00:26:56,174
- Thank you so much.
- Okay, ma'am,

455
00:26:56,308 --> 00:26:57,242
<i>-not a problem.</i>
-Thank you, sir.

456
00:26:57,809 --> 00:26:59,544
This seems crazy.

457
00:26:59,678 --> 00:27:02,314
Mom, it's for...
Come on, it's for if you fall

458
00:27:02,447 --> 00:27:03,982
and you can't get
to the phone and...

459
00:27:04,117 --> 00:27:05,051
And what?

460
00:27:05,183 --> 00:27:07,185
Mom, I... I got, like...

461
00:27:07,319 --> 00:27:09,055
I have a million things
going on,

462
00:27:09,187 --> 00:27:11,156
and I cannot be here
all the time,

463
00:27:11,289 --> 00:27:13,492
and... and you have
never lived alone.

464
00:27:13,625 --> 00:27:15,360
I'm worried about
something happening to you

465
00:27:15,494 --> 00:27:16,428
when I'm not here.

466
00:27:16,561 --> 00:27:18,463
What would happen?

467
00:27:18,597 --> 00:27:23,401
Mom, I walked by this amazing
independent living place

468
00:27:23,534 --> 00:27:24,669
-on the Upper West Side.
-Oh.

469
00:27:24,802 --> 00:27:26,504
You would basically
be on your own,

470
00:27:26,637 --> 00:27:28,140
except they, you know,
they do the wellness checks

471
00:27:28,272 --> 00:27:31,008
every morning just... just
to make sure you're okay and...

472
00:27:31,143 --> 00:27:34,912
Oh, I got the... Uh, wait.
I, um, I have the brochure.

473
00:27:35,047 --> 00:27:36,547
They do these fun activities,

474
00:27:36,681 --> 00:27:38,382
and I think there are
a lot of other residents

475
00:27:38,516 --> 00:27:40,118
you would have
a lot in common with.

476
00:27:40,251 --> 00:27:42,219
You'd say that
about Guantanamo

477
00:27:42,353 --> 00:27:44,387
if you thought they had
an opening for me.

478
00:27:44,521 --> 00:27:46,189
Here. I... I got you
the brochure.

479
00:27:46,322 --> 00:27:48,858
I... you know,
it really looks amazing.

480
00:27:52,996 --> 00:27:55,732
Hey, you got, like,
a million texts here.

481
00:27:56,433 --> 00:27:58,201
Who's Nina?

482
00:27:58,334 --> 00:28:00,470
Oh, here. Give me that.
Give me the phone.

483
00:28:00,603 --> 00:28:02,839
She said she got your number
from the sign-in sheet.

484
00:28:02,972 --> 00:28:06,110
Uh, she's from the JCC.

485
00:28:06,242 --> 00:28:07,810
Hey. Hey.

486
00:28:07,943 --> 00:28:10,679
What did I tell you?
You see, you made friends.

487
00:28:10,813 --> 00:28:14,416
She's probably just texting
about a donation.

488
00:31:01,810 --> 00:31:05,314
<i>♪ We have no bananas ♪</i>

489
00:31:05,447 --> 00:31:09,885
<i>♪ We have no bananas today ♪</i>

490
00:31:10,719 --> 00:31:12,888
<i>♪ We have no... ♪</i>

491
00:31:21,129 --> 00:31:22,297
Hello?

492
00:31:22,429 --> 00:31:23,564
<i>Hey, Bubbe.</i>

493
00:31:23,697 --> 00:31:25,300
Maxie!

494
00:31:25,432 --> 00:31:27,102
I was just finishing the food.

495
00:31:27,235 --> 00:31:29,337
What's... what's...
What do you want, honey?

496
00:31:29,470 --> 00:31:30,804
<i>Well, I just realized</i>

497
00:31:30,938 --> 00:31:32,473
<i>my friend's band</i>
<i>is playing tonight,</i>

498
00:31:32,606 --> 00:31:33,841
<i>and I need to reschedule</i>
<i>the dinner.</i>

499
00:31:34,408 --> 00:31:35,442
<i>Is that a problem?</i>

500
00:31:35,576 --> 00:31:38,012
Oh. No, no, I understand.

501
00:31:38,146 --> 00:31:41,148
It's okay.
We'll just do it next week.

502
00:31:41,282 --> 00:31:42,982
<i>Are you sure?</i>
<i>'Cause I can cancel.</i>

503
00:31:43,117 --> 00:31:46,287
It's fine. You just go
have a good time.

504
00:31:46,886 --> 00:31:48,621
<i>Okay. Uh, love you.</i>

505
00:31:48,755 --> 00:31:50,723
Love you, too, honey.

506
00:31:51,258 --> 00:31:52,458
Bye-bye.

507
00:32:07,140 --> 00:32:08,674
<i>Shabbat shalom.</i>

508
00:32:08,807 --> 00:32:10,109
I'm surprised you called.

509
00:32:10,243 --> 00:32:12,245
You're a hard person
to get in touch with.

510
00:32:14,247 --> 00:32:15,781
Okay.

511
00:32:16,782 --> 00:32:18,817
Well... well,
let's make this quick.

512
00:32:18,951 --> 00:32:20,053
-Yes. Quick.
-Mm.

513
00:32:20,186 --> 00:32:22,454
Quick is...
It's great. Great.

514
00:32:23,956 --> 00:32:24,957
Whew.

515
00:32:26,958 --> 00:32:30,062
Um, and what year
did you come to America?

516
00:32:31,330 --> 00:32:32,964
1952.

517
00:32:33,098 --> 00:32:34,732
No. No, 1953.

518
00:32:34,865 --> 00:32:37,568
Wow, you barely have an accent.

519
00:32:37,702 --> 00:32:39,204
Well, I...

520
00:32:39,338 --> 00:32:41,073
I've been here a very long time.

521
00:32:41,206 --> 00:32:42,773
Of... Of course.

522
00:32:42,907 --> 00:32:47,179
Um, all right, I just have
a few more questions.

523
00:32:47,312 --> 00:32:50,613
You're very serious about
this journalism thing, huh?

524
00:32:50,747 --> 00:32:52,549
Don't you want to be
with your friends?

525
00:32:52,682 --> 00:32:53,883
Friday night and all?

526
00:32:55,086 --> 00:32:57,188
Um...

527
00:32:58,122 --> 00:32:59,190
I don't know.

528
00:32:59,323 --> 00:33:01,624
I think going out
is kind of overrated.

529
00:33:02,625 --> 00:33:04,128
And people are just weird.

530
00:33:05,229 --> 00:33:06,963
I mean, when you go
to boarding school

531
00:33:07,098 --> 00:33:10,301
from ninth to twelfth grade,
you sort of lose touch.

532
00:33:10,434 --> 00:33:12,869
Yeah, I'm not really sure
who my friends are anymore.

533
00:33:13,503 --> 00:33:15,138
That makes two of us.

534
00:33:21,277 --> 00:33:23,113
Um...

535
00:33:23,246 --> 00:33:24,980
When you spoke about
running through the woods

536
00:33:25,115 --> 00:33:28,184
with your brother,
you were escaping, right?

537
00:33:29,718 --> 00:33:31,687
You know, I don't think
Shabbat is a good time

538
00:33:31,820 --> 00:33:33,856
for a heavy conversation.

539
00:33:33,989 --> 00:33:36,292
You do know
what Shabbat is, right?

540
00:33:36,426 --> 00:33:38,327
Sure. My mom was Jewish.

541
00:33:38,460 --> 00:33:40,029
But we never, like, practiced.

542
00:33:40,162 --> 00:33:42,364
What do you mean
your mom was Jewish?

543
00:33:42,498 --> 00:33:44,665
If you're Jewish,
you're Jewish.

544
00:33:45,733 --> 00:33:47,635
Oh. no, I, um...

545
00:33:47,769 --> 00:33:49,003
I didn't mean...

546
00:33:50,772 --> 00:33:52,508
She passed away recently.

547
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,709
Oh, my dear.

548
00:33:54,842 --> 00:33:57,645
I am so sorry to hear that.

549
00:33:58,546 --> 00:34:00,249
What was her name?

550
00:34:00,382 --> 00:34:01,715
Jeanne.

551
00:34:06,620 --> 00:34:08,822
Um, where's your bathroom?

552
00:34:08,955 --> 00:34:11,125
Oh. Through that room.

553
00:34:11,259 --> 00:34:12,260
Excuse me.

554
00:34:32,611 --> 00:34:33,913
Oh, you're fine.

555
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:35,981
You're fine.

556
00:34:56,768 --> 00:34:58,170
Nina?

557
00:35:01,540 --> 00:35:02,941
Nina?

558
00:35:03,875 --> 00:35:05,910
-What are you doing in here?
-Oh.

559
00:35:06,045 --> 00:35:08,746
I'm sorry. I just...
Well, I saw these pictures.

560
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,815
Oh.

561
00:35:10,949 --> 00:35:13,585
-Is that your husband?
-Yeah, that's Harry.

562
00:35:13,717 --> 00:35:14,718
And that's Bessie.

563
00:35:14,852 --> 00:35:17,388
She was my closest friend.

564
00:35:17,522 --> 00:35:19,057
Did you guys meet in New York?

565
00:35:19,190 --> 00:35:22,427
Yeah, we lived in the same
housing project in the Bronx.

566
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:26,598
But we might as well have lived
on this boardwalk.

567
00:35:26,730 --> 00:35:28,299
She loved Coney Island

568
00:35:28,433 --> 00:35:31,035
better than anywhere else
on earth.

569
00:35:32,836 --> 00:35:34,339
You've been crying.

570
00:35:34,472 --> 00:35:35,905
What? No, I haven't.

571
00:35:36,039 --> 00:35:38,008
Yes, you have.
You're all blotchy.

572
00:35:38,142 --> 00:35:40,910
Here. Sit down.

573
00:35:42,312 --> 00:35:44,014
Are you okay?

574
00:35:44,981 --> 00:35:46,550
How...

575
00:35:46,682 --> 00:35:48,252
How long
after your brother died

576
00:35:48,385 --> 00:35:51,622
were you able to talk about
him without crying?

577
00:35:51,754 --> 00:35:53,357
How long has it been?

578
00:35:54,824 --> 00:35:57,194
Almost... Almost six months.

579
00:36:00,596 --> 00:36:01,531
Nina...

580
00:36:03,698 --> 00:36:04,699
...would you like to go

581
00:36:04,833 --> 00:36:07,436
to synagogue with me tomorrow?

582
00:36:08,137 --> 00:36:09,505
Really?

583
00:36:09,639 --> 00:36:13,576
Every Jewish woman should see
what the faith has to offer.

584
00:36:13,708 --> 00:36:18,514
Besides, you can give me
the third degree there, too.

585
00:36:20,349 --> 00:36:21,584
I'd like that.

586
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:47,441
Hey.

587
00:36:48,209 --> 00:36:49,510
Oh, later.

588
00:36:49,643 --> 00:36:51,412
You said I could give you
the third degree.

589
00:36:51,545 --> 00:36:54,248
You're here to observe. Learn.

590
00:37:01,155 --> 00:37:02,755
How often do you come here?

591
00:37:02,889 --> 00:37:04,391
Every Saturday.

592
00:37:04,525 --> 00:37:05,858
Oh.

593
00:37:06,793 --> 00:37:08,928
-How do you know her?
-I don't.

594
00:37:09,796 --> 00:37:10,929
You don't know these people?

595
00:37:11,064 --> 00:37:13,032
Are we crashing
a bat mitzvah right now?

596
00:37:13,166 --> 00:37:16,768
For the longest time,
shul was a place only for men.

597
00:37:16,902 --> 00:37:18,071
Women weren't welcome.

598
00:37:18,204 --> 00:37:20,506
We certainly
weren't bat mitzvahed.

599
00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:22,308
Well, when I was young, I...

600
00:37:22,442 --> 00:37:23,742
I...

601
00:37:26,279 --> 00:37:28,014
You were just fighting
to stay alive.

602
00:37:28,147 --> 00:37:30,450
Anyway.

603
00:37:30,583 --> 00:37:33,985
I just mean... Well, I never got
the chance to celebrate

604
00:37:34,119 --> 00:37:36,521
my Jewish identity.

605
00:37:36,655 --> 00:37:37,888
How does it make you feel?

606
00:37:38,856 --> 00:37:40,592
What are you, a shrink now?

607
00:37:51,303 --> 00:37:52,604
<i>♪ Shake it, shake it ♪</i>

608
00:37:52,738 --> 00:37:54,306
<i>♪ Shake it, break it ♪</i>

609
00:37:54,439 --> 00:37:56,508
<i>♪ Shake it, shake your... ♪</i>

610
00:37:58,875 --> 00:38:00,977
You see those girls?

611
00:38:01,112 --> 00:38:03,547
Now, I'm the one that should be
having the bat mitzvah.

612
00:38:03,681 --> 00:38:06,550
They don't even care
about what it means.

613
00:38:07,385 --> 00:38:08,286
Mm.

614
00:38:08,419 --> 00:38:10,021
Hello.

615
00:38:10,154 --> 00:38:13,057
It's, uh, so nice
to see two new faces.

616
00:38:13,190 --> 00:38:15,825
Oh, oh, I'd love
to introduce myself.

617
00:38:15,959 --> 00:38:19,230
I am... Rabbi Cohen.

618
00:38:19,363 --> 00:38:21,031
- Oh.
- I'm new here myself,

619
00:38:21,164 --> 00:38:24,167
so, um, please feel free
to reach out anytime, okay?

620
00:38:24,301 --> 00:38:26,136
I hope to see more of you.

621
00:38:27,037 --> 00:38:28,937
If you... if you'll excuse me.

622
00:38:31,874 --> 00:38:33,576
Well, that was weird.

623
00:38:33,710 --> 00:38:35,478
Oh, God.

624
00:38:35,612 --> 00:38:36,546
He seemed nice.

625
00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,248
Oh, come on.

626
00:38:47,889 --> 00:38:48,823
No.

627
00:38:48,956 --> 00:38:51,160
No, no, I... I told you.

628
00:38:51,293 --> 00:38:52,561
I told you,
and now I'm telling you

629
00:38:52,695 --> 00:38:54,296
for, what, the seventh time?

630
00:38:54,430 --> 00:38:57,633
Just cancel the membership
and stop sending me her mail.

631
00:38:57,766 --> 00:38:59,967
Shit.

632
00:39:00,102 --> 00:39:01,503
Sorry, I'm just...

633
00:39:01,637 --> 00:39:03,605
-I'm trying to find my laptop.
-Yeah. Sorry, I...

634
00:39:11,079 --> 00:39:13,014
How's the, um,
homework going?

635
00:39:13,147 --> 00:39:14,415
I'm in college, Dad.

636
00:39:14,549 --> 00:39:16,284
I don't know if you can
ask me that anymore.

637
00:39:20,321 --> 00:39:24,025
But I... I did pick a subject
for my journalism project.

638
00:39:24,792 --> 00:39:25,959
Oh, yeah?

639
00:39:26,094 --> 00:39:27,729
Yeah. Yeah.
I'm actually profiling

640
00:39:27,861 --> 00:39:29,297
a Holocaust survivor.

641
00:39:29,430 --> 00:39:31,099
She spends Saturdays
at other people's bat mitzvahs

642
00:39:31,232 --> 00:39:33,100
'cause she wasn't able
to have one.

643
00:39:36,670 --> 00:39:37,870
Yeah.

644
00:39:38,505 --> 00:39:39,639
Anyway...

645
00:39:40,307 --> 00:39:42,042
That's a good angle.

646
00:39:43,909 --> 00:39:44,877
You should push that.

647
00:39:45,011 --> 00:39:47,414
The... the bat mitzvah thing.

648
00:39:47,547 --> 00:39:49,182
Do you know if Mom
ever had one?

649
00:39:49,683 --> 00:39:51,218
A bat mitzvah?

650
00:39:52,319 --> 00:39:55,055
Uh, I think she did.

651
00:39:55,188 --> 00:39:58,224
Maybe. I... I can't remember.

652
00:40:01,993 --> 00:40:03,596
Sorry.

653
00:40:08,300 --> 00:40:10,569
So, tell me
about your mother.

654
00:40:11,837 --> 00:40:13,706
I'll probably cry if I do.

655
00:40:13,839 --> 00:40:16,142
So, cry. What's the big deal?

656
00:40:16,275 --> 00:40:19,110
Uh, hold that thought.
Excuse me.

657
00:40:19,244 --> 00:40:22,480
Uh, the other guy brought
the water but no straws.

658
00:40:22,614 --> 00:40:24,015
Oh, we actually
don't have straws.

659
00:40:24,149 --> 00:40:26,484
It's, like,
an environmental thing.

660
00:40:26,618 --> 00:40:29,387
This diner
has a political agenda?

661
00:40:30,155 --> 00:40:31,623
You know what? Don't tell me.

662
00:40:31,756 --> 00:40:34,925
Just go back
and see if you can find two.

663
00:40:35,059 --> 00:40:36,327
I don't need one.

664
00:40:36,461 --> 00:40:37,562
Two.

665
00:40:37,695 --> 00:40:39,130
Thank you.

666
00:40:39,264 --> 00:40:41,099
Now, what was I saying?

667
00:40:41,232 --> 00:40:43,167
- You want me to cry?
- Right.

668
00:40:43,300 --> 00:40:45,135
If there's one thing
I've learned,

669
00:40:45,269 --> 00:40:47,905
and you can write this down
in your notebook,

670
00:40:48,038 --> 00:40:49,873
you have to talk about
the things

671
00:40:50,007 --> 00:40:51,508
that make you sad.

672
00:40:51,642 --> 00:40:53,277
Jews fled Poland

673
00:40:53,410 --> 00:40:55,779
and never talked about
what they went through.

674
00:40:55,913 --> 00:40:57,514
They just kept it moving.

675
00:40:57,648 --> 00:41:03,187
And there's some good in that,
but it can just eat you alive.

676
00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:06,722
Eighty years later,
and you'll still be there.

677
00:41:08,090 --> 00:41:10,526
Oh.

678
00:41:10,660 --> 00:41:11,594
You got me.

679
00:41:20,102 --> 00:41:23,239
She was, uh,
an artist, actually.

680
00:41:24,574 --> 00:41:25,808
A photographer.

681
00:41:25,942 --> 00:41:27,643
Was she successful?

682
00:41:28,744 --> 00:41:29,846
Yeah.

683
00:41:29,977 --> 00:41:31,413
Yeah, she was.

684
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,583
So, continue.

685
00:41:36,351 --> 00:41:38,653
Every year
on my birthday,

686
00:41:38,787 --> 00:41:41,122
she would make
a new portrait of us together.

687
00:41:41,256 --> 00:41:44,659
Like, same... same background
and same position.

688
00:41:44,793 --> 00:41:48,597
Charting, like,
how we aged and how we grew.

689
00:41:48,730 --> 00:41:52,234
<i>She would fill my room</i>
<i>with secret notes.</i>

690
00:41:52,367 --> 00:41:53,834
<i>It would take me weeks</i>
<i>to find 'em all.</i>

691
00:41:53,968 --> 00:41:56,770
<i>No wonder</i>
<i>my daughter hates me.</i>

692
00:41:56,904 --> 00:41:58,405
<i>No, come on.</i>

693
00:41:58,539 --> 00:41:59,907
<i>I'm sure you did</i>
<i>a lot of nice things for her.</i>

694
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,575
<i>I kept my daughter alive.</i>

695
00:42:01,709 --> 00:42:04,078
<i>That's what my mother</i>
<i>did for me.</i>

696
00:42:04,211 --> 00:42:05,613
<i>What was your mom like?</i>

697
00:42:05,746 --> 00:42:07,081
<i>Tired.</i>

698
00:42:09,750 --> 00:42:11,552
<i>What's it like</i>
<i>being 94?</i>

699
00:42:11,685 --> 00:42:15,322
<i>I feel the same way</i>
<i>I did when I was 16.</i>

700
00:42:15,456 --> 00:42:17,490
<i>I mean, I'm exactly the same.</i>

701
00:42:17,624 --> 00:42:19,659
<i>As you were</i>
<i>in those old photos?</i>

702
00:42:19,792 --> 00:42:23,062
<i>I used to be</i>
<i>so young and cute.</i>

703
00:42:23,196 --> 00:42:24,564
<i>You're still cute.</i>

704
00:42:25,899 --> 00:42:29,602
<i>Everyone thinks</i>
<i>older people aren't sexual,</i>

705
00:42:30,303 --> 00:42:32,405
<i>but I think about sex.</i>

706
00:42:33,139 --> 00:42:35,875
<i>That part doesn't just go away.</i>

707
00:42:36,010 --> 00:42:39,445
<i>You know? Sometimes I...</i>
<i>I'm sad about it.</i>

708
00:42:41,480 --> 00:42:43,248
- What about you?
- I'm gay.

709
00:42:43,382 --> 00:42:46,385
Wow, that's open and honest.

710
00:42:46,518 --> 00:42:47,953
Well, it's just who I am.

711
00:42:48,086 --> 00:42:51,356
Well, I think it's great
that you can be yourself.

712
00:42:54,293 --> 00:42:55,961
-Where is it?
-In your hair.

713
00:42:56,094 --> 00:42:57,362
It's stuck in my hair.

714
00:43:04,435 --> 00:43:05,836
I'm glad you approve.

715
00:43:09,273 --> 00:43:10,608
You're a cool lady, Eleanor.

716
00:43:14,645 --> 00:43:16,213
<i>Ten, nine...</i>

717
00:43:16,347 --> 00:43:18,115
<i>Hey,</i>
<i>can I ask a favor?</i>

718
00:43:18,249 --> 00:43:19,884
-What is it?
<i>-Would you consider</i>

719
00:43:20,018 --> 00:43:22,553
coming to speak to the kids
in my class this week?

720
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:24,255
It's part of my grade.

721
00:43:24,388 --> 00:43:26,524
Speak about what?

722
00:43:26,657 --> 00:43:28,825
<i>Just the same things</i>
<i>you spoke about in group.</i>

723
00:43:28,959 --> 00:43:30,327
<i>You know what I realized?</i>

724
00:43:30,460 --> 00:43:31,962
I talked about my mom
for 20 minutes tonight,

725
00:43:32,095 --> 00:43:33,330
and I didn't cry.

726
00:43:33,930 --> 00:43:35,665
You're welcome.

727
00:43:35,799 --> 00:43:39,036
Fine.
I'll talk to your friends.

728
00:43:39,169 --> 00:43:41,072
Ah. Yes.

729
00:43:41,204 --> 00:43:42,405
Thank you.

730
00:43:42,539 --> 00:43:44,708
<i>Thank you so much.</i>

731
00:43:55,451 --> 00:43:57,386
This is so formal.

732
00:43:58,420 --> 00:44:00,322
Hello. Eleanor.

733
00:44:00,456 --> 00:44:01,890
I'm David Thompson.

734
00:44:02,025 --> 00:44:04,526
I'm head of the journalism
department here at NYU.

735
00:44:04,660 --> 00:44:07,396
-We're so lucky to have you.
-Oh, why, thank you.

736
00:44:07,529 --> 00:44:08,530
Now, you have everything
you need?

737
00:44:08,664 --> 00:44:09,865
-Oh, yes. Yes.
-Great.

738
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:11,166
Uh, if you'll excuse me,

739
00:44:11,300 --> 00:44:12,334
we're just setting up
the camera,

740
00:44:12,468 --> 00:44:13,802
so it shouldn't take too long.

741
00:44:18,339 --> 00:44:19,707
They're filming this?

742
00:44:19,841 --> 00:44:20,775
Oh, yeah.

743
00:44:20,908 --> 00:44:22,176
Um, Professor Thompson's
very into things

744
00:44:22,310 --> 00:44:24,046
being on the record.

745
00:44:24,178 --> 00:44:25,179
It's kinda like
an important part

746
00:44:25,313 --> 00:44:26,681
of the journalistic process.

747
00:44:26,814 --> 00:44:29,617
-I'm going to the bathroom.
-Oh. Are you okay?

748
00:44:29,751 --> 00:44:34,188
One thing you'll learn about me.
I don't like surprises.

749
00:44:42,429 --> 00:44:43,363
Oh, hey.

750
00:44:43,497 --> 00:44:45,133
Are you okay?

751
00:44:47,300 --> 00:44:49,936
I... I don't think
this was a good idea.

752
00:44:50,071 --> 00:44:51,405
You'll be fine.

753
00:44:51,538 --> 00:44:54,042
You can just talk to them
like you talked to me.

754
00:44:54,174 --> 00:44:55,909
Oh, well, that's the problem.

755
00:44:56,044 --> 00:44:57,377
I shouldn't be...

756
00:44:57,511 --> 00:45:00,647
Well, I just don't want to talk
about that time.

757
00:45:00,781 --> 00:45:01,915
We have to talk
about the things

758
00:45:02,050 --> 00:45:03,215
that make you sad, right?

759
00:45:03,349 --> 00:45:05,951
You shouldn't
listen to me.

760
00:45:06,086 --> 00:45:07,420
Too late.

761
00:45:19,066 --> 00:45:21,934
Okay, we're good.
Nina, you can start.

762
00:45:23,402 --> 00:45:24,904
Eleanor Morgenstein,
thank you so much

763
00:45:25,038 --> 00:45:27,539
for coming in today
and sharing your story.

764
00:45:27,672 --> 00:45:28,606
I've brought the class
up to speed

765
00:45:28,740 --> 00:45:29,908
with your recent interviews.

766
00:45:40,919 --> 00:45:41,920
Right.

767
00:45:45,590 --> 00:45:48,626
Well, the... the truth is...

768
00:45:53,731 --> 00:45:56,934
I'd like to go back a little,
start again.

769
00:45:59,536 --> 00:46:01,638
<i>I was nine years old.</i>

770
00:46:01,772 --> 00:46:04,775
A Christian family took us in.

771
00:46:06,543 --> 00:46:10,614
<i>My brother, me and our mother.</i>

772
00:46:12,249 --> 00:46:13,950
Our home was...

773
00:46:15,284 --> 00:46:17,887
inside a small closet.

774
00:46:18,588 --> 00:46:21,424
For years, we lived like this.

775
00:46:24,694 --> 00:46:29,766
I saw the world
through the slats of a door.

776
00:46:31,434 --> 00:46:33,770
Life was on the other side.

777
00:46:33,903 --> 00:46:38,907
Everything for me was always
on the other side of that door.

778
00:46:44,180 --> 00:46:46,948
Well, when I came to New York,

779
00:46:48,383 --> 00:46:51,187
I would look up in the subway

780
00:46:51,319 --> 00:46:56,825
and see the gratings
and people walking above me.

781
00:46:56,958 --> 00:47:01,362
Now, I would think,
all those people...

782
00:47:03,064 --> 00:47:04,865
they are in life.

783
00:47:07,401 --> 00:47:08,836
In life.

784
00:47:11,539 --> 00:47:13,574
But I was outside.

785
00:47:18,512 --> 00:47:19,981
And then one day...

786
00:47:22,416 --> 00:47:25,885
that door in the closet opened.

787
00:47:28,555 --> 00:47:30,390
There were soldiers.

788
00:47:34,028 --> 00:47:36,362
My mother...

789
00:47:38,932 --> 00:47:42,036
She held us
with all her strength.

790
00:47:44,737 --> 00:47:47,107
She would not let go.

791
00:47:49,008 --> 00:47:49,775
Oh.

792
00:47:49,908 --> 00:47:53,112
She did... she did not let go.

793
00:47:56,082 --> 00:47:59,685
I can still feel her hand
in mine.

794
00:48:17,969 --> 00:48:19,570
- It wasn't great.
- What?

795
00:48:19,704 --> 00:48:21,340
-I think you were amazing.
-Uh-huh.

796
00:48:21,472 --> 00:48:22,940
You don't give yourself
enough credit.

797
00:48:23,075 --> 00:48:24,642
Right.

798
00:48:24,775 --> 00:48:27,179
People really love
listening to you.

799
00:48:27,312 --> 00:48:29,847
Oh, do you have time
to come talk to my professor?

800
00:48:29,982 --> 00:48:33,784
Oh, I have to see
another apartment with Lisa.

801
00:48:35,585 --> 00:48:37,921
Well, if you'd rather
hang out with me,

802
00:48:38,055 --> 00:48:39,890
I have a special trip
in mind for us.

803
00:48:40,024 --> 00:48:41,092
-A trip?
-Mm-hmm.

804
00:48:41,225 --> 00:48:43,560
Give me one of those.

805
00:48:43,693 --> 00:48:46,396
I know I said I hate surprises,
but you know what?

806
00:48:46,529 --> 00:48:48,465
I'm intrigued.

807
00:48:48,598 --> 00:48:51,235
Uh, I'll see the apartment
another time.

808
00:48:51,369 --> 00:48:53,570
All right, let's go.

809
00:48:53,703 --> 00:48:55,739
Oh, do you mind
if I drop my bag off first?

810
00:48:55,872 --> 00:48:57,241
We're not far from my place.

811
00:48:57,375 --> 00:48:59,242
If you're taking me
to your dorm room,

812
00:48:59,376 --> 00:49:01,011
so help me God.

813
00:49:06,482 --> 00:49:07,783
Okay.

814
00:49:08,985 --> 00:49:10,186
Not a dorm.

815
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,155
Wow.

816
00:49:12,289 --> 00:49:13,822
Yeah, my mom's
parents bought it

817
00:49:13,956 --> 00:49:15,158
for nothing back in the day.

818
00:49:15,292 --> 00:49:16,659
Pictures.

819
00:49:19,762 --> 00:49:21,430
Look at these.

820
00:49:22,664 --> 00:49:26,868
Nina, you didn't tell me
you wrote poetry.

821
00:49:27,002 --> 00:49:29,837
Um, that was from eighth grade.
I wouldn't get excited.

822
00:49:29,972 --> 00:49:31,307
Can I borrow it?

823
00:49:31,439 --> 00:49:33,175
Yeah, sure. You can keep it.

824
00:49:34,376 --> 00:49:36,245
Do you still write poems?

825
00:49:36,378 --> 00:49:37,912
Uh, I don't know.

826
00:49:38,047 --> 00:49:39,681
But what I do know
is that book got me

827
00:49:39,814 --> 00:49:41,516
a full ride
to The Putney School.

828
00:49:41,649 --> 00:49:44,987
- Where's that?
- Vermont.

829
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,256
I needed to get
the hell out of here.

830
00:49:48,389 --> 00:49:49,790
That bad, huh?

831
00:49:49,923 --> 00:49:52,093
Yeah. My parents were
just fighting constantly.

832
00:49:52,226 --> 00:49:54,062
What a way to grow up.

833
00:49:54,661 --> 00:49:55,829
Uh, yeah.

834
00:49:55,963 --> 00:49:57,597
It wasn't really
my favorite time.

835
00:50:00,034 --> 00:50:01,535
Wait.

836
00:50:03,670 --> 00:50:06,107
Did you forget
to tell me something?

837
00:50:06,240 --> 00:50:07,841
Not really.

838
00:50:07,976 --> 00:50:09,010
You ready?

839
00:50:09,143 --> 00:50:10,810
You've been giving me
the third degree

840
00:50:10,943 --> 00:50:13,679
and forgot to mention
you're related to Roger Davis?

841
00:50:13,813 --> 00:50:16,916
I'm related to Roger Davis.
And our Uber's here.

842
00:50:17,050 --> 00:50:17,783
Roger Davis.

843
00:50:17,917 --> 00:50:19,019
If Bessie were alive,

844
00:50:19,152 --> 00:50:20,454
she'd drop dead.

845
00:50:20,586 --> 00:50:22,222
-Is he home? Is he here?
-No.

846
00:50:22,356 --> 00:50:24,657
Um, he's so handsome and smart,

847
00:50:24,790 --> 00:50:27,194
and Bessie mentioned
that he'd married a Jew.

848
00:50:27,327 --> 00:50:29,895
I should have known.
Well, how would I have known?

849
00:50:32,199 --> 00:50:34,433
Can I please
take this thing off?

850
00:50:34,566 --> 00:50:36,168
I'm about to hurl.

851
00:50:36,302 --> 00:50:37,836
We're not there yet.

852
00:50:42,308 --> 00:50:44,477
You know, I...
I think I'm a bigger fan

853
00:50:44,609 --> 00:50:46,979
of Roger Davis than you are.

854
00:50:48,947 --> 00:50:51,183
No, no. I... I love my dad.

855
00:50:53,618 --> 00:50:55,087
It's just been weird.

856
00:50:57,088 --> 00:50:58,956
He never talks about my mom.

857
00:51:00,125 --> 00:51:03,094
Like, I'll bring her up,
and he'll just leave the room.

858
00:51:05,497 --> 00:51:06,964
It's like she just...

859
00:51:08,366 --> 00:51:09,700
poof, went away.

860
00:51:10,201 --> 00:51:11,535
Oh, honey.

861
00:51:16,740 --> 00:51:18,709
Oh, just here
on the right is good.

862
00:51:28,818 --> 00:51:31,088
-You okay?
-Oh, I've got it.

863
00:51:33,956 --> 00:51:35,526
Oh.

864
00:51:35,658 --> 00:51:37,428
All right, you may remove
your mask,

865
00:51:37,560 --> 00:51:38,728
<i>madame.</i>

866
00:51:51,207 --> 00:51:54,277
Oh, God. I... I thought
this would be different.

867
00:51:54,410 --> 00:51:57,879
I just... I wanted you
to have a nice time.

868
00:52:02,118 --> 00:52:03,618
Eleanor?

869
00:52:09,357 --> 00:52:11,725
It's just like it was.

870
00:52:15,030 --> 00:52:17,199
Oh, thank you.

871
00:52:17,332 --> 00:52:18,266
Should we look around?

872
00:52:18,400 --> 00:52:20,068
- Yeah.
- Yeah?

873
00:52:31,579 --> 00:52:34,281
<i>♪ Nothing but blue sky ♪</i>

874
00:52:34,914 --> 00:52:37,817
<i>♪ Do I see ♪</i>

875
00:53:01,673 --> 00:53:02,941
<i>It's...</i>
<i>it's just wonderful,</i>

876
00:53:03,076 --> 00:53:04,444
<i>Eleanor.</i>

877
00:53:04,577 --> 00:53:08,381
I can assign you a date
and a Torah portion today.

878
00:53:08,515 --> 00:53:10,216
-Um...
-Oh.

879
00:53:15,954 --> 00:53:18,057
Oh. Four weeks from today.

880
00:53:18,525 --> 00:53:19,757
Wow. That soon?

881
00:53:19,891 --> 00:53:21,593
Okay. Sure.

882
00:53:21,726 --> 00:53:23,162
Perfect.

883
00:53:23,295 --> 00:53:28,467
Um, which means that
your Torah portion will be...

884
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:30,202
let's see...

885
00:53:30,335 --> 00:53:33,671
Ah, the story of Jacob
and Esau.

886
00:53:34,239 --> 00:53:36,008
Now, uh...

887
00:53:36,141 --> 00:53:37,875
I know that you're familiar
with the teachings

888
00:53:38,010 --> 00:53:41,013
of the Torah, but I do this
with all my students,

889
00:53:41,146 --> 00:53:43,981
so please
bear with me.

890
00:53:48,653 --> 00:53:52,756
The story of, uh,
Jacob and his brother Esau

891
00:53:52,889 --> 00:53:57,461
is one of intrigue,
it's one of passion.

892
00:53:57,595 --> 00:53:59,430
Rabbi, I'm 200 years old.

893
00:53:59,564 --> 00:54:01,165
Just give me the gist.

894
00:54:01,299 --> 00:54:02,567
Okay, okay.

895
00:54:02,699 --> 00:54:03,934
Well, then you tell me, Eleanor,

896
00:54:04,068 --> 00:54:05,503
why does Jacob
want his father's blessing?

897
00:54:05,636 --> 00:54:10,739
Because Jacob's older brother
is a bad, selfish guy.

898
00:54:10,873 --> 00:54:13,009
Okay, good, good.

899
00:54:14,144 --> 00:54:15,111
And?

900
00:54:15,245 --> 00:54:17,314
And he doesn't deserve
his birthright,

901
00:54:17,447 --> 00:54:19,815
and Jacob deserves it
because he knows

902
00:54:19,949 --> 00:54:22,552
he will follow
the Lord's commandments.

903
00:54:22,686 --> 00:54:24,054
Very good.

904
00:54:24,187 --> 00:54:27,023
But, uh, Isaac refuses
to give it to him,

905
00:54:27,157 --> 00:54:29,791
so Jacob tricks his father
into thinking

906
00:54:29,924 --> 00:54:31,160
that he's his brother Esau

907
00:54:31,293 --> 00:54:32,794
and covers himself
in sheepskin...

908
00:54:32,927 --> 00:54:35,830
Uh, because Esau
was a very hairy man

909
00:54:35,965 --> 00:54:37,633
and his father was blind.

910
00:54:37,765 --> 00:54:38,766
Yeah.

911
00:54:38,900 --> 00:54:40,236
And so, and so Jacob,

912
00:54:40,369 --> 00:54:42,004
mimicking
his brother's voice, said,

913
00:54:42,137 --> 00:54:44,240
"Father, give me your blessing."

914
00:54:44,373 --> 00:54:46,808
So, you know, Isaac,
he, you know, reaches out,

915
00:54:46,941 --> 00:54:48,776
feels the...
feels for the sheepskin,

916
00:54:48,910 --> 00:54:52,780
mistakes Jacob for his brother
and gives Jacob the blessing.

917
00:54:52,914 --> 00:54:54,449
Just like that.

918
00:54:54,582 --> 00:54:58,686
So, Jacob takes on
his brother's identity,

919
00:54:58,819 --> 00:55:01,522
and there were no consequences?

920
00:55:02,856 --> 00:55:03,992
Um...

921
00:55:05,393 --> 00:55:07,195
Ooh. Well, um...

922
00:55:07,328 --> 00:55:11,065
Other than becoming the revered
patriarch of our religion?

923
00:55:15,869 --> 00:55:17,671
Well, the heart
of the story, Eleanor,

924
00:55:17,803 --> 00:55:20,307
it's... it's not
about deception.

925
00:55:20,440 --> 00:55:21,774
It's about truth.

926
00:55:23,277 --> 00:55:26,946
But sure, I... I guess,
under some conditions,

927
00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:28,582
deception isn't always bad.

928
00:55:28,715 --> 00:55:30,050
No.

929
00:55:30,684 --> 00:55:32,219
If the intention is pure.

930
00:55:32,352 --> 00:55:33,320
Right.

931
00:55:33,886 --> 00:55:36,023
Oh.

932
00:55:36,456 --> 00:55:38,125
Oh.

933
00:55:42,328 --> 00:55:43,763
Obviously, it's not done yet.

934
00:55:43,895 --> 00:55:46,666
You know, we still have
the bat mitzvah, um...

935
00:55:46,798 --> 00:55:48,167
Yeah, it's good.

936
00:55:48,867 --> 00:55:49,901
Really?

937
00:55:50,036 --> 00:55:51,870
Yeah, it's...
it's thoughtful.

938
00:55:52,004 --> 00:55:53,205
It's, uh...

939
00:55:53,838 --> 00:55:55,107
It's personal.

940
00:55:55,775 --> 00:55:58,177
It's... it's moving.

941
00:56:00,546 --> 00:56:02,814
It's informative.
I mean...

942
00:56:05,350 --> 00:56:08,053
You know, I'd like to have
dinner with the two of you.

943
00:56:09,187 --> 00:56:10,655
<i>"The two of you"?</i>

944
00:56:10,789 --> 00:56:12,657
Me? Like the two of us?

945
00:56:12,791 --> 00:56:14,359
- Yes.
- Oh!

946
00:56:14,492 --> 00:56:15,893
Out of nowhere, he just asked
to read my Eleanor article.

947
00:56:16,027 --> 00:56:17,928
And so he reads it,
and he likes it.

948
00:56:18,063 --> 00:56:20,031
Well, I'm not surprised.

949
00:56:20,165 --> 00:56:23,234
Your poems are very impressive.
I've been reading them.

950
00:56:23,368 --> 00:56:24,369
Oh, really?

951
00:56:25,869 --> 00:56:27,904
How about this
for the ceremony?

952
00:56:28,038 --> 00:56:29,773
I... I don't have
to wear a dress.

953
00:56:29,906 --> 00:56:31,241
Neither do you.

954
00:56:31,375 --> 00:56:32,942
Wait. What? Me?

955
00:56:33,077 --> 00:56:34,244
Excuse me.

956
00:56:34,378 --> 00:56:36,480
Uh, where are
your dressing rooms?

957
00:56:36,613 --> 00:56:40,317
One, two, three!

958
00:56:44,021 --> 00:56:45,789
- You look amazing, Eleanor.
- Oh, look at that!

959
00:56:45,922 --> 00:56:46,990
- Look at you...
- Oh.

960
00:56:47,124 --> 00:56:48,225
...like a real
bat mitzvah girl.

961
00:56:48,359 --> 00:56:49,727
Oh. I'm gonna buy both.
It's my treat.

962
00:56:49,859 --> 00:56:51,160
No, no,
I can't let you do that.

963
00:56:51,294 --> 00:56:53,129
Well, it's my bat mitzvah,

964
00:56:53,262 --> 00:56:56,299
and I can do
whatever the hell I want.

965
00:56:56,432 --> 00:56:58,468
You look amazing.

966
00:56:58,601 --> 00:57:00,069
-Well, so do you.
-Do you feel good?

967
00:57:00,203 --> 00:57:02,672
I feel wonderful.
I love this suit.

968
00:57:04,240 --> 00:57:05,341
-We both look so good.
-We look like twins.

969
00:57:05,475 --> 00:57:06,843
I know.
No one's gonna be able

970
00:57:06,976 --> 00:57:07,943
- to tell us apart.
- I know.

971
00:57:19,621 --> 00:57:22,224
Ma. Ma?

972
00:57:22,357 --> 00:57:24,626
-What are you doing in here?
-Oh. What, Lisa?

973
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:26,261
You can't knock?

974
00:57:26,395 --> 00:57:28,230
It sounded like you were
strangling an animal in here.

975
00:57:28,363 --> 00:57:30,432
Oh, that's nice.
Thank you very much.

976
00:57:30,565 --> 00:57:31,566
What's that?

977
00:57:32,334 --> 00:57:34,236
Nothing. I'm praying.

978
00:57:34,369 --> 00:57:35,737
For what?

979
00:57:35,871 --> 00:57:37,873
For Dad. I'm saying kaddish.

980
00:57:38,039 --> 00:57:41,509
It's been 11 years today
since he died, and I thought...

981
00:57:41,642 --> 00:57:44,745
Dad died in August.
It's March.

982
00:57:44,879 --> 00:57:45,912
Is it?

983
00:57:46,046 --> 00:57:47,548
Ma, are you doing okay?

984
00:57:47,681 --> 00:57:50,251
I'm fine.
I'm just a little confused.

985
00:57:50,384 --> 00:57:51,852
I'm worried about you.

986
00:57:51,986 --> 00:57:54,121
I'm not moving into a home.

987
00:57:54,255 --> 00:57:55,890
Ma, I don't even know
where you are half the time.

988
00:57:56,023 --> 00:57:58,659
You don't answer your phone.
Where are you even going?

989
00:57:58,793 --> 00:58:00,027
I'm fine.

990
00:58:00,161 --> 00:58:01,796
Highlights?

991
00:58:01,928 --> 00:58:03,096
Yeah. Oh, yeah, a little.

992
00:58:03,229 --> 00:58:05,064
-Looks nice.
-Oh.

993
00:58:05,198 --> 00:58:07,600
Eyebrows don't match
now, though.

994
00:58:07,734 --> 00:58:09,969
I told her that.

995
00:58:14,874 --> 00:58:16,543
Oh, God.

996
00:58:21,014 --> 00:58:22,382
Oh. Thank you.

997
00:58:27,519 --> 00:58:28,587
Oh. Thank you.

998
00:58:28,720 --> 00:58:30,189
Ah, welcome
to the Knickerbocker.

999
00:58:30,322 --> 00:58:32,024
Roger Davis's table.

1000
00:58:32,157 --> 00:58:34,092
-Right this way.
-Thank you.

1001
00:58:34,493 --> 00:58:35,527
Oh.

1002
00:58:35,661 --> 00:58:38,130
- Oh, hey.
- Hey, how are you?

1003
00:58:38,263 --> 00:58:41,733
Fine.
Good to see you. Oh.

1004
00:58:41,867 --> 00:58:43,969
Eleanor. I'm Roger.

1005
00:58:44,102 --> 00:58:46,238
I know who you are.

1006
00:58:46,371 --> 00:58:47,439
Please.

1007
00:58:48,941 --> 00:58:50,408
Wow. You look really great.

1008
00:58:50,541 --> 00:58:52,043
Okay, I'm just gonna jump
straight into this.

1009
00:58:52,176 --> 00:58:53,344
I'm excited, okay?

1010
00:58:53,478 --> 00:58:55,179
I... I showed
my producer your story,

1011
00:58:55,313 --> 00:58:58,416
and, um, I think it would make
a great on-air segment

1012
00:58:58,549 --> 00:59:00,918
for <i>The Fabric of New York.</i>

1013
00:59:01,052 --> 00:59:02,320
I mean, it's a... it's a story

1014
00:59:02,453 --> 00:59:04,522
of the... the resilience
of the human spirit.

1015
00:59:04,655 --> 00:59:05,690
It's inspirational.

1016
00:59:05,823 --> 00:59:07,425
It's a human-interest piece
about you.

1017
00:59:07,558 --> 00:59:09,527
- Me?
- Yeah.

1018
00:59:09,660 --> 00:59:11,062
Oh, no, no, no, no, I...

1019
00:59:11,195 --> 00:59:12,697
Well, look, it's not every day
you meet a Holocaust survivor

1020
00:59:12,830 --> 00:59:16,266
that feels the need
to reaffirm her faith.

1021
00:59:16,399 --> 00:59:19,402
Oh, I... I'm not really
that interesting.

1022
00:59:19,536 --> 00:59:21,404
Well, you're more than
interesting, Eleanor.

1023
00:59:21,538 --> 00:59:23,607
You're... you're important.

1024
00:59:25,408 --> 00:59:27,644
Your story.
Your brother's story.

1025
00:59:28,311 --> 00:59:30,080
You know, I think, um...

1026
00:59:30,213 --> 00:59:32,182
I think people
should know about you.

1027
00:59:32,950 --> 00:59:34,317
This work is...

1028
00:59:35,285 --> 00:59:37,319
it's really touching, Neen.

1029
00:59:37,453 --> 00:59:39,622
You liked my article that much?

1030
00:59:39,755 --> 00:59:41,023
I loved it.

1031
00:59:41,156 --> 00:59:42,959
- Wow.
- No, you're good.

1032
00:59:43,092 --> 00:59:46,428
You could... you could do this,
if you wanted it enough.

1033
00:59:48,097 --> 00:59:52,134
How much of what I told you
did you end up using?

1034
00:59:52,268 --> 00:59:54,203
I'll send it to you tonight.

1035
00:59:55,337 --> 00:59:58,374
Oh, my God.
Dad, this is so cool.

1036
00:59:59,108 --> 01:00:00,042
Wine?

1037
01:00:00,174 --> 01:00:01,376
Yes.

1038
01:00:02,176 --> 01:00:06,080
All right.
Well, let's have a toast.

1039
01:00:07,549 --> 01:00:09,651
- To Eleanor.
- To Eleanor.

1040
01:00:16,124 --> 01:00:19,661
"When you are
a Holocaust survivor

1041
01:00:19,794 --> 01:00:21,429
"and you regress,

1042
01:00:21,563 --> 01:00:23,398
"what you
are going back to is

1043
01:00:23,531 --> 01:00:27,701
"the darkest point
of human history.

1044
01:00:27,834 --> 01:00:33,007
"'Eighty years,'
Eleanor Morgenstein starts,

1045
01:00:33,140 --> 01:00:34,841
"'and I'm still back there.'"

1046
01:00:36,276 --> 01:00:38,078
Oh, my God.

1047
01:00:39,846 --> 01:00:41,248
What have I...

1048
01:00:41,748 --> 01:00:42,616
Oh.

1049
01:01:03,936 --> 01:01:05,738
Mom, bagels.

1050
01:01:08,874 --> 01:01:10,843
Oh. What's the occasion?

1051
01:01:10,978 --> 01:01:13,612
I have something at the JCC.

1052
01:01:13,745 --> 01:01:14,779
In that?

1053
01:01:14,913 --> 01:01:17,984
Well, I only have
so many Saturdays left.

1054
01:01:18,116 --> 01:01:19,517
Why not look nice?

1055
01:01:20,086 --> 01:01:21,252
Well, you do.

1056
01:01:21,386 --> 01:01:22,854
Thank you.

1057
01:01:22,989 --> 01:01:26,891
And thank you, Maxie,
for letting me steal your bed.

1058
01:01:27,026 --> 01:01:28,760
Oh, yeah, it's no problem. Um...

1059
01:01:29,561 --> 01:01:30,997
I'm actually gonna go play ball

1060
01:01:31,129 --> 01:01:32,831
with some friends if you want
to, um, split a cab.

1061
01:01:33,331 --> 01:01:34,865
Oh, no, it's okay.

1062
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:36,233
I'll... I'll walk.

1063
01:01:36,367 --> 01:01:37,701
What do you mean, that's okay?

1064
01:01:37,835 --> 01:01:40,304
It's freezing out.
You should split the cab.

1065
01:01:40,437 --> 01:01:42,139
Yeah, let's go.

1066
01:01:43,841 --> 01:01:44,908
Okay.

1067
01:01:45,709 --> 01:01:47,144
Mwah.

1068
01:01:47,711 --> 01:01:48,379
Bye, Mom.

1069
01:01:48,512 --> 01:01:50,347
- Bye.
- Bye.

1070
01:01:50,481 --> 01:01:52,549
- Bye, sweetie.
- Love you.

1071
01:02:00,024 --> 01:02:01,557
Guys. Come on.

1072
01:02:01,691 --> 01:02:04,627
You'll see everything set up
on the left, okay?

1073
01:02:04,761 --> 01:02:07,296
-You in touch with Eleanor?
-Yeah, yeah. She's on her way.

1074
01:02:07,430 --> 01:02:09,298
-What's the ETA on the guests?
-Let me follow up.

1075
01:02:09,432 --> 01:02:11,401
-Whoa. What guests?
-It's a surprise.

1076
01:02:11,534 --> 01:02:13,903
No, no, no, Dad.
Eleanor hates surprises.

1077
01:02:14,871 --> 01:02:16,205
She'll like this one.

1078
01:02:22,411 --> 01:02:24,413
You know, this is ridiculous.

1079
01:02:24,546 --> 01:02:26,983
This bus
has been here forever.

1080
01:02:28,617 --> 01:02:30,252
- You're not moving.
- Nothing I can do.

1081
01:02:30,385 --> 01:02:32,187
Oh.

1082
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:34,523
Here is good.

1083
01:02:34,656 --> 01:02:38,293
Maxie, I... I'll see you
a little later at home, okay?

1084
01:02:38,427 --> 01:02:40,328
Okay. Uh, do you need
any help or anything?

1085
01:02:40,462 --> 01:02:42,531
No, no, I'm okay.
I'm fine, hon.

1086
01:02:42,664 --> 01:02:45,400
-All right. Love you.
-I love you, too, hon.

1087
01:02:45,533 --> 01:02:47,501
-Bye.
-Bye-bye.

1088
01:02:48,803 --> 01:02:51,338
Uh, yeah, next stop's
103rd and 3rd, please.

1089
01:02:52,707 --> 01:02:53,708
Thanks.

1090
01:03:03,417 --> 01:03:04,785
Call Mom.

1091
01:03:06,887 --> 01:03:08,589
So, Bubbe
just got out of my cab,

1092
01:03:08,723 --> 01:03:10,356
and she's in another cab.

1093
01:03:10,490 --> 01:03:13,226
Um, sir, can you follow
that cab for me, please?

1094
01:03:16,863 --> 01:03:18,264
Thank you.

1095
01:03:18,398 --> 01:03:19,599
There you are.

1096
01:03:19,733 --> 01:03:22,669
-Hey.
-I like your pantsuit.

1097
01:03:22,802 --> 01:03:25,338
-Where'd you get it?
-An old friend.

1098
01:03:25,472 --> 01:03:27,407
Are you calling me old?

1099
01:03:27,540 --> 01:03:28,775
You want me to take your coat?

1100
01:03:28,908 --> 01:03:30,310
No, no, it's okay.

1101
01:03:31,277 --> 01:03:32,946
-You okay?
-Yeah.

1102
01:03:33,912 --> 01:03:36,015
My mouth's
a little dry, but...

1103
01:03:36,149 --> 01:03:38,218
Other than that...

1104
01:03:38,350 --> 01:03:40,919
- It's okay. We got this.
- Yeah.

1105
01:03:43,189 --> 01:03:46,558
Hello, everyone,
and, uh, welcome.

1106
01:03:47,559 --> 01:03:50,929
Today, we are here
to celebrate the dedication

1107
01:03:51,064 --> 01:03:54,867
and commitment of a woman
who seeks to claim her role

1108
01:03:55,001 --> 01:03:58,736
as a teacher
of the Jewish tradition.

1109
01:03:58,870 --> 01:04:01,206
And unlike
most of the students I teach,

1110
01:04:01,339 --> 01:04:04,742
she is clearly not being forced
into this by her parents.

1111
01:04:07,912 --> 01:04:10,915
Part of the beauty
of days like this

1112
01:04:11,049 --> 01:04:12,750
is who we share them with,

1113
01:04:12,884 --> 01:04:14,552
and I know
there are many friends,

1114
01:04:14,685 --> 01:04:17,288
new and... and old,

1115
01:04:17,421 --> 01:04:19,524
who are here
in support of Eleanor.

1116
01:04:19,657 --> 01:04:23,060
Uh, and, uh, I see
a few more trickling in now

1117
01:04:23,194 --> 01:04:27,131
who know just how important
friendship and faith are

1118
01:04:27,265 --> 01:04:29,866
in these most trying of times.

1119
01:04:32,302 --> 01:04:35,106
We are so happy
to have you here.

1120
01:04:35,239 --> 01:04:36,373
Hey.

1121
01:04:37,874 --> 01:04:39,243
One of the interns
dug up this article

1122
01:04:39,376 --> 01:04:41,112
from a local newspaper
in Florida.

1123
01:04:41,245 --> 01:04:42,479
"Eleanor Morgenstein,

1124
01:04:42,612 --> 01:04:44,847
"born and raised
in Des Moines, Iowa"?

1125
01:04:46,016 --> 01:04:48,051
Now,
before we begin,

1126
01:04:48,185 --> 01:04:52,421
I'd like to welcome
Eleanor's friend, Nina Davis.

1127
01:05:10,672 --> 01:05:13,541
I didn't meet Eleanor like
I meet most of my friends.

1128
01:05:14,409 --> 01:05:15,945
We don't go to the same school.

1129
01:05:16,078 --> 01:05:18,580
We don't share
the same taste in music.

1130
01:05:19,881 --> 01:05:20,950
We don't...

1131
01:05:26,754 --> 01:05:29,624
My mom died this past year,

1132
01:05:29,757 --> 01:05:32,526
and I'm young enough that
I don't know too many people

1133
01:05:32,659 --> 01:05:34,862
that have lost parents,
thankfully.

1134
01:05:35,462 --> 01:05:36,897
Um...

1135
01:05:37,031 --> 01:05:39,867
But when it happened,
none of my friends could relate,

1136
01:05:40,001 --> 01:05:43,972
or they felt sorry for me,
or... or I pushed them away.

1137
01:05:45,672 --> 01:05:48,909
They were too nervous
to bring her up, and...

1138
01:05:50,144 --> 01:05:51,912
when I did,
they'd sort of just nod

1139
01:05:52,046 --> 01:05:54,448
or pretend
like they didn't hear me,

1140
01:05:54,580 --> 01:05:57,383
and conversations
seemed to stop.

1141
01:06:03,156 --> 01:06:05,758
Uh, then I met you.

1142
01:06:08,295 --> 01:06:10,998
And you listened.

1143
01:06:12,698 --> 01:06:14,167
And you understood.

1144
01:06:15,235 --> 01:06:18,904
And you didn't try
to change the subject.

1145
01:06:20,839 --> 01:06:23,943
You just spoke to me like
you would any other person.

1146
01:06:25,644 --> 01:06:27,280
Which is to say
that you yelled a lot.

1147
01:06:30,983 --> 01:06:31,984
Um...

1148
01:06:33,152 --> 01:06:34,954
And I want
to thank you for that.

1149
01:06:36,755 --> 01:06:38,291
You have helped me.

1150
01:06:39,858 --> 01:06:40,859
Really.

1151
01:06:54,471 --> 01:06:56,975
And, uh,
now I'd like to introduce

1152
01:06:57,108 --> 01:06:59,110
Vera Mandrella.

1153
01:07:04,815 --> 01:07:06,616
I am honored
to be speaking

1154
01:07:06,749 --> 01:07:09,119
at Eleanor's bat mitzvah.

1155
01:07:11,921 --> 01:07:17,894
As survivors, we share
something almost unspeakable.

1156
01:07:19,930 --> 01:07:23,599
I am very proud of you,
my friend,

1157
01:07:23,733 --> 01:07:27,570
for sharing your story
of the Holocaust

1158
01:07:27,704 --> 01:07:30,373
with us at the JCC.

1159
01:07:30,505 --> 01:07:31,840
Ma?

1160
01:07:34,643 --> 01:07:36,845
What is going on here?
What is this?

1161
01:07:36,980 --> 01:07:39,514
What? Ma... Ma?

1162
01:07:39,648 --> 01:07:41,150
I'm... I'm sorry?

1163
01:07:43,752 --> 01:07:44,954
Ma, did you tell these people

1164
01:07:45,088 --> 01:07:47,522
that you were
a Holocaust survivor?

1165
01:07:49,425 --> 01:07:50,659
Look, I'm... I'm very sorry.

1166
01:07:50,792 --> 01:07:53,161
My mother converted
to Judaism in 1953

1167
01:07:53,295 --> 01:07:54,463
when she married my father.

1168
01:07:54,595 --> 01:07:56,897
She is not a Holocaust survivor.

1169
01:07:57,032 --> 01:07:59,600
She is from the Midwest.
Ma, what is this?

1170
01:08:05,407 --> 01:08:06,975
Ma?

1171
01:08:14,483 --> 01:08:15,783
Oh, Nina.

1172
01:08:23,623 --> 01:08:24,992
Nina.

1173
01:08:25,825 --> 01:08:28,595
Nina, please listen to me.

1174
01:08:30,364 --> 01:08:31,598
-You okay?
-I was there

1175
01:08:31,731 --> 01:08:33,334
for the Broadway
singing squad, and...

1176
01:08:33,467 --> 01:08:34,734
and I followed Vera.

1177
01:08:34,868 --> 01:08:36,170
-I didn't...
-I really don't want to hear it.

1178
01:08:36,303 --> 01:08:40,240
Oh, I was so lonely,
and I needed a friend.

1179
01:08:40,373 --> 01:08:43,809
And you have been such
a wonderful friend. You have.

1180
01:08:43,943 --> 01:08:45,577
- But you weren't.
- Nina.

1181
01:08:45,711 --> 01:08:46,645
No, I wasn't.

1182
01:08:46,779 --> 01:08:48,847
Let's go home. Car's here.

1183
01:08:50,649 --> 01:08:51,850
So everything
that you told me about,

1184
01:08:51,985 --> 01:08:54,686
everything that you said
was a lie.

1185
01:08:54,820 --> 01:08:58,191
Who the hell lies about that?
Are you crazy?

1186
01:08:58,324 --> 01:08:59,725
Maybe I am. I don't know.

1187
01:08:59,858 --> 01:09:01,660
I've spent
all of this time with you.

1188
01:09:01,794 --> 01:09:04,829
I've had all of these
open conversations.

1189
01:09:04,963 --> 01:09:06,465
I poured my heart out to you.

1190
01:09:06,597 --> 01:09:08,733
It wasn't a lie.

1191
01:09:11,103 --> 01:09:12,171
Eleanor, please.

1192
01:09:13,105 --> 01:09:16,475
It wasn't a lie!
It just wasn't my story!

1193
01:09:16,607 --> 01:09:18,277
-Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom.
-Nina!

1194
01:09:18,410 --> 01:09:19,511
-Let them go.
-Nina!

1195
01:09:19,677 --> 01:09:21,046
-Mom, just let them go.
-Hey, hey.

1196
01:09:23,115 --> 01:09:25,583
- It's okay, Bubbe.
- Come on. It's okay, Ma.

1197
01:09:25,716 --> 01:09:26,918
It's okay, Bubbe.

1198
01:09:27,584 --> 01:09:29,053
We love you. It's okay.

1199
01:09:30,587 --> 01:09:32,190
Come on, Ma,
let's sit down.

1200
01:09:32,722 --> 01:09:33,991
You're okay.

1201
01:09:34,392 --> 01:09:35,592
Come on.

1202
01:10:01,485 --> 01:10:02,685
Yeah?

1203
01:10:08,258 --> 01:10:09,259
You okay?

1204
01:10:15,431 --> 01:10:17,099
I feel like such an idiot.

1205
01:10:19,667 --> 01:10:20,869
Well, you know, there's a...

1206
01:10:21,003 --> 01:10:22,304
Don't say that
there's a lesson here.

1207
01:10:22,438 --> 01:10:24,306
Well...

1208
01:10:24,906 --> 01:10:26,175
Well, there is.

1209
01:10:27,742 --> 01:10:28,944
I mean...

1210
01:10:31,313 --> 01:10:33,249
Uh...

1211
01:10:35,084 --> 01:10:37,153
You always see
the best in people.

1212
01:10:37,286 --> 01:10:38,486
Um...

1213
01:10:38,620 --> 01:10:41,755
You have since you were a kid,
and...

1214
01:10:42,957 --> 01:10:44,526
that can be a wonderful thing.

1215
01:10:45,460 --> 01:10:48,129
But not everybody's
who they say they are.

1216
01:10:50,999 --> 01:10:54,002
You're older now,
and you'll see that...

1217
01:10:55,136 --> 01:10:57,438
people will take advantage
of that kind of trust.

1218
01:11:01,109 --> 01:11:03,243
I hate to see you
get hurt like this.

1219
01:11:05,646 --> 01:11:07,114
Yeah.

1220
01:11:16,190 --> 01:11:18,125
You want something to eat?
I'm ordering food.

1221
01:11:18,258 --> 01:11:19,725
No, I'm okay.

1222
01:11:20,893 --> 01:11:22,462
Could you
shut my door, please?

1223
01:11:24,364 --> 01:11:25,364
Yeah.

1224
01:12:27,992 --> 01:12:30,060
Facts are
the bedrock of truth,

1225
01:12:30,728 --> 01:12:32,096
and in this day and age,

1226
01:12:32,229 --> 01:12:34,932
we are constantly bombarded
by misinformation.

1227
01:12:35,065 --> 01:12:36,798
It is our job as journalists

1228
01:12:36,933 --> 01:12:40,203
to educate the reader
on truth versus reality.

1229
01:14:10,390 --> 01:14:11,323
Thank you.

1230
01:14:11,457 --> 01:14:13,292
Hey, you okay?

1231
01:14:13,425 --> 01:14:14,927
Who am I?

1232
01:14:15,728 --> 01:14:17,529
Who am I anymore?

1233
01:14:18,530 --> 01:14:20,065
You're my mother.

1234
01:14:21,533 --> 01:14:23,402
And you always will be.

1235
01:14:26,572 --> 01:14:28,140
You know that I...

1236
01:14:29,108 --> 01:14:32,611
love you,
no matter what happens.

1237
01:14:33,679 --> 01:14:36,314
You're putting me
in a home, aren't you?

1238
01:14:36,447 --> 01:14:37,448
It's not a home.

1239
01:14:37,582 --> 01:14:39,484
It's a place
I know you'll be safe.

1240
01:14:39,617 --> 01:14:41,018
Safe from what?

1241
01:14:41,719 --> 01:14:43,388
Safe from what, Lisa?

1242
01:14:43,521 --> 01:14:44,722
I don't...
I don't want to fight.

1243
01:14:44,856 --> 01:14:45,857
Aren't you tired of fighting?

1244
01:14:45,990 --> 01:14:47,891
I love fighting.
I want to fight.

1245
01:14:48,025 --> 01:14:49,827
Let me keep on fighting.

1246
01:14:49,961 --> 01:14:51,929
Mom, let me help you.

1247
01:14:52,663 --> 01:14:54,031
This is good.

1248
01:14:56,634 --> 01:14:59,569
Why don't you
go out anymore, Lisa?

1249
01:14:59,703 --> 01:15:02,305
No. That's over.

1250
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:04,207
Why over?

1251
01:15:04,341 --> 01:15:07,677
You look at a picture
of yourself taken ten years ago,

1252
01:15:07,811 --> 01:15:09,212
and how do you look?

1253
01:15:09,813 --> 01:15:11,548
Amazing.

1254
01:15:11,681 --> 01:15:13,016
And what did you think

1255
01:15:13,150 --> 01:15:14,885
when that picture was taken?

1256
01:15:15,018 --> 01:15:17,988
That I...
I was just a hot mess.

1257
01:15:18,121 --> 01:15:19,790
And awful.

1258
01:15:23,492 --> 01:15:27,563
You wasted all that time
thinking you looked bad

1259
01:15:28,397 --> 01:15:31,167
when you looked gorgeous.

1260
01:15:32,535 --> 01:15:36,205
Ma, why didn't... why didn't
you tell me that before?

1261
01:15:36,705 --> 01:15:38,274
I don't know.

1262
01:15:40,042 --> 01:15:41,310
I should've.

1263
01:15:45,380 --> 01:15:46,548
No, no, no, no.

1264
01:15:46,681 --> 01:15:48,283
Then we cut to
the bat mitzvah footage.

1265
01:15:48,416 --> 01:15:49,851
Well, either way, we need it

1266
01:15:49,984 --> 01:15:51,786
-ready to go at 8:00.
-What are you talking about?

1267
01:15:51,921 --> 01:15:53,154
Peter, I'm gonna call you back.

1268
01:15:53,288 --> 01:15:54,656
-Okay.
-Dad, what's going on?

1269
01:15:54,789 --> 01:15:56,558
-Yeah, I wanted to talk to you.
-Yeah, about what?

1270
01:15:56,691 --> 01:15:58,726
Well, there's still a story
here worth exploring.

1271
01:15:58,860 --> 01:16:02,030
What? No, no, there's not.

1272
01:16:02,163 --> 01:16:03,565
Actually, Nina, yeah, there is.

1273
01:16:03,698 --> 01:16:05,266
Dad, what the hell
are you talking about?

1274
01:16:05,400 --> 01:16:07,101
Are you serious?
How could you do this?

1275
01:16:07,235 --> 01:16:08,269
This is so embarrassing.

1276
01:16:08,403 --> 01:16:09,736
For me and for Eleanor!

1277
01:16:09,870 --> 01:16:11,472
Would you just calm down?
Let me explain...

1278
01:16:11,605 --> 01:16:12,873
No, no, no, no, no.
There's nothing to explain.

1279
01:16:13,006 --> 01:16:14,408
There's nothing to explain,

1280
01:16:14,541 --> 01:16:16,109
because all you care about
is getting your story,

1281
01:16:16,243 --> 01:16:18,612
even if it means
ruining people's lives.

1282
01:16:18,745 --> 01:16:20,647
God, you are so heartless.
How could you do this to me?

1283
01:16:20,781 --> 01:16:22,583
Can you just take a second
and listen to me, please?

1284
01:16:22,716 --> 01:16:25,319
No, no! You have no right
to tell me what to do.

1285
01:16:25,452 --> 01:16:27,821
You have no right
to tell me anything.

1286
01:16:27,956 --> 01:16:30,090
I've been so alone, so alone,

1287
01:16:30,224 --> 01:16:32,192
and you just
don't seem to get that.

1288
01:16:32,325 --> 01:16:33,993
The only reason that
I took this journalism class

1289
01:16:34,126 --> 01:16:38,064
or did literally any of this is
so that you would speak to me!

1290
01:16:42,101 --> 01:16:45,571
Eleanor has left me 14 messages
trying to explain why she lied.

1291
01:16:45,705 --> 01:16:47,807
And you know what? She actually
has a pretty good explanation.

1292
01:16:47,941 --> 01:16:49,675
Yeah, I'm sure she does.

1293
01:16:49,809 --> 01:16:51,077
Dad.

1294
01:16:51,210 --> 01:16:52,612
Even if she didn't,
even if she didn't,

1295
01:16:52,745 --> 01:16:54,046
it wouldn't matter!

1296
01:16:54,180 --> 01:16:56,214
Because at least she felt like
she owed me one.

1297
01:16:57,282 --> 01:17:00,318
I was alone when Mom's
accident happened.

1298
01:17:00,452 --> 01:17:02,955
Where were you?
Where have you been?

1299
01:17:03,088 --> 01:17:05,056
Where have you been for months?

1300
01:17:13,231 --> 01:17:14,633
Dad, don't do this.

1301
01:17:16,301 --> 01:17:18,336
-Just give me a sec.
-Oh, my God.

1302
01:17:20,070 --> 01:17:21,705
Wait. Nina!

1303
01:17:47,463 --> 01:17:50,633
Hey. I'm here to see
Eleanor Morgenstein, 14N.

1304
01:17:50,767 --> 01:17:53,202
Mrs. Morgenstein
moved out a few days ago.

1305
01:17:53,336 --> 01:17:54,571
What? Where?

1306
01:17:54,704 --> 01:17:56,873
-Uh, sorry. I don't know.
-Oh, my God.

1307
01:17:57,007 --> 01:18:00,310
Would you like to leave
a message for her daughter?

1308
01:18:00,443 --> 01:18:02,245
<i>We hope you'll join us then.</i>
<i>Thanks, everyone.</i>

Hey, Eleanor.

1312

The usual? Or are we adding
whipped cream this time?

1313
01:18:11,653 --> 01:18:13,789
You're spoiling me.

1314
01:18:13,923 --> 01:18:18,360
I'll have two scoops of vanilla
and the hot fudge.

1315
01:18:18,493 --> 01:18:20,362

The Fabric of New York.

1331
01:19:21,286 --> 01:19:24,790
<i>Eleanor Morgenstein</i>
<i>was your average 94-year-old.</i>

1332
01:19:24,924 --> 01:19:27,493
<i>Having recently moved</i>
<i>to New York City from Florida,</i>

1333
01:19:27,626 --> 01:19:31,397
<i>she had a loving family</i>
<i>and attended synagogue weekly.</i>

1334
01:19:31,530 --> 01:19:33,599
<i>A few months back,</i>
<i>Ms. Morgenstein walked into</i>

1335
01:19:33,732 --> 01:19:35,634
<i>a Holocaust survivors</i>
<i>support group</i>

1336
01:19:35,768 --> 01:19:37,836
<i>at her local</i>
<i>Jewish community center</i>

1337
01:19:37,971 --> 01:19:41,472
<i>and told a story that moved</i>
<i>everyone who heard it.</i>

1338
01:19:41,606 --> 01:19:43,207
<i>It was harrowing.</i>

1339
01:19:43,341 --> 01:19:44,709
<i>It was visceral.</i>

1340
01:19:44,842 --> 01:19:48,479
<i>The only problem,</i>
<i>it wasn't hers.</i>

1341
01:19:48,613 --> 01:19:50,983
<i>Eleanor did not survive</i>
<i>the Holocaust.</i>

1342
01:19:51,116 --> 01:19:53,685
In fact, she was born
and raised in Des Moines, Iowa.

1343
01:19:53,818 --> 01:19:55,453
She later moved
to New York City,

1344
01:19:55,586 --> 01:19:59,091
<i>where, in 1953,</i>
<i>she met Bessie Stern</i>

1345
01:19:59,223 --> 01:20:00,892
<i>in the stenography pool.</i>

1346
01:20:01,026 --> 01:20:04,930
<i>Best friends for 70 years,</i>
<i>Bessie and Eleanor experienced</i>

1347
01:20:05,063 --> 01:20:07,397
<i>all of life's</i>
<i>milestones together.</i>

1348
01:20:07,531 --> 01:20:09,133
<i>The two were inseparable</i>

1349
01:20:09,266 --> 01:20:13,370
<i>until Bessie passed away</i>
<i>this last December.</i>

1350
01:20:14,105 --> 01:20:16,840
It was Bessie's
survivor's story

1351
01:20:16,974 --> 01:20:19,776
that Eleanor
told that fateful day.

1352
01:20:19,911 --> 01:20:23,246
Eleanor's lie came as a shock
to those close to her.

1353
01:20:23,380 --> 01:20:24,881
<i>Even her own family</i>
<i>didn't know</i>

1354
01:20:25,016 --> 01:20:27,151
<i>the double life</i>
<i>she'd been living.</i>

1355
01:20:27,317 --> 01:20:32,888
<i>Which begs the question,</i>
<i>what drove Eleanor to lie?</i>

1356
01:20:33,023 --> 01:20:35,558
And while I can't say for sure,

1357
01:20:36,859 --> 01:20:38,260
I imagine...

1358
01:20:39,862 --> 01:20:40,863
it was grief.

1359
01:20:45,334 --> 01:20:48,738
Now, I'm not defending
or condoning

1360
01:20:48,871 --> 01:20:51,407
the actions
of Ms. Morgenstein.

1361
01:20:51,540 --> 01:20:54,076
I empathize
with someone who's lost

1362
01:20:54,210 --> 01:20:55,643
the center of their universe

1363
01:20:55,777 --> 01:20:59,982
only to find themselves
suspended in midair.

1364
01:21:01,549 --> 01:21:04,954
Almost eight months ago,

1365
01:21:06,354 --> 01:21:09,024
my daughter and I lost her mom.

1366
01:21:10,291 --> 01:21:11,626
My wife.

1367
01:21:13,294 --> 01:21:14,729
Jeanne Davis.

1368
01:21:16,597 --> 01:21:20,601
And I can tell you that grief
can make you selfish,

1369
01:21:21,468 --> 01:21:24,371
can make you blind...

1370
01:21:25,305 --> 01:21:26,975
to the suffering of others.

1371
01:21:28,509 --> 01:21:30,410
<i>Some people act out.</i>

1372
01:21:30,544 --> 01:21:32,579
<i>Others retreat inward.</i>

1373
01:21:34,481 --> 01:21:36,750
In the months
since my wife died,

1374
01:21:36,884 --> 01:21:39,386
I've only said her name once.

1375
01:21:42,189 --> 01:21:43,623
And that was just now.

1376
01:21:45,858 --> 01:21:48,594
Out of fear.

1377
01:21:52,266 --> 01:21:53,934
I've been afraid

1378
01:21:55,368 --> 01:21:59,639
to admit my heartbreak
for our family.

1379
01:22:03,075 --> 01:22:04,376
But why?

1380
01:22:06,878 --> 01:22:09,748
So we at the station
are digging deep,

1381
01:22:09,881 --> 01:22:13,252
<i>asking questions</i>
<i>and getting to the root of it.</i>

1382
01:22:13,385 --> 01:22:17,889
<i>Why do we, as a society,</i>
<i>bury grief in the darkness</i>

1383
01:22:18,024 --> 01:22:20,159
<i>when it is</i>
<i>the inevitable outcome</i>

1384
01:22:20,293 --> 01:22:22,527
<i>of the love that unites us all?</i>

1385
01:22:24,063 --> 01:22:27,631
Why do we isolate
at exactly the moment

1386
01:22:27,765 --> 01:22:30,768
that we need
human connection the most?

1387
01:22:32,170 --> 01:22:37,042
When we return, we will begin
a weeklong in-depth series

1388
01:22:37,175 --> 01:22:39,911
on the taboos of grief.

1389
01:22:40,979 --> 01:22:44,049
<i>From disassociation</i>
<i>to discomfort,</i>

1390
01:22:44,182 --> 01:22:50,121
our show sheds light
on the psychology of loss.

1391
01:22:53,389 --> 01:22:54,657
Stay with us.

1392
01:22:54,791 --> 01:22:55,893
And we're clear.

1393
01:22:57,827 --> 01:22:59,796
Back in two minutes.

1394
01:23:00,730 --> 01:23:02,732
- Really moving.
- Thank you.

1395
01:23:04,235 --> 01:23:06,502
- Can I touch up?
- Yeah, thanks.

1396
01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:24,921
Hello?

1397
01:23:28,157 --> 01:23:30,859
Uh, no, that's my mom.
She's not here.

1398
01:23:32,461 --> 01:23:33,795
She passed away.

1399
01:23:36,132 --> 01:23:37,399
Thanks.

1400
01:24:05,326 --> 01:24:06,994
I'm sorry.

1401
01:24:15,735 --> 01:24:17,038
I love you.

1402
01:24:42,561 --> 01:24:44,064
Oh, hey, Ma.

1403
01:24:44,197 --> 01:24:45,831
Shh. We're reading.

1404
01:24:45,966 --> 01:24:47,866
Oh. Shh.

1405
01:24:48,001 --> 01:24:50,835
-How you doing?
-I'm fine. Everything's great.

1406
01:24:50,970 --> 01:24:52,237
- Yeah?
- Yeah.

1407
01:24:52,371 --> 01:24:55,274
Well, isn't that nice of you?
Thank you.

1408
01:24:55,407 --> 01:24:58,676
I have something else for you.

1409
01:24:58,810 --> 01:25:00,079
Hi, Eleanor.

1410
01:25:01,246 --> 01:25:02,915
Oh. Oh!

1411
01:25:04,549 --> 01:25:06,851
Oh. Oh.

1412
01:25:06,986 --> 01:25:09,854
Oh, I...
I thought she hated me.

1413
01:25:09,989 --> 01:25:11,489
Oh, I thought you hated me.

1414
01:25:11,622 --> 01:25:13,024
No, I could never.

1415
01:25:13,157 --> 01:25:14,658
Oh!

1416
01:25:14,791 --> 01:25:18,528
This is the granddaughter
I told you about. Oh.

1417
01:25:21,299 --> 01:25:22,400
-I missed you.
-Oh.

1418
01:25:22,532 --> 01:25:24,801
Oh, me, too.

1419
01:25:24,936 --> 01:25:27,138
Okay. Okay, lovebirds.

1420
01:25:27,271 --> 01:25:29,773
-Let's get out of here, huh?
-Where are we going?

1421
01:25:29,907 --> 01:25:32,709
Oh. Uh, we could get
some fresh air.

1422
01:25:32,843 --> 01:25:34,345
Do you want to have lunch, Ma?

1423
01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:36,346
Oh, we eat lunch at 11:00.

1424
01:25:36,480 --> 01:25:38,681
Oh. That's early.

1425
01:25:38,814 --> 01:25:40,616
There is somewhere
I need to go, though.

1426
01:25:40,750 --> 01:25:42,152
But what time is it?

1427
01:25:42,685 --> 01:25:43,887
We've got time.

1428
01:25:54,064 --> 01:25:55,098
Maybe not.

1429
01:25:55,698 --> 01:25:56,900
We got this.

1430
01:26:07,575 --> 01:26:08,777
Oh, shit.

1431
01:26:23,791 --> 01:26:27,062
Her name was Elizabeth Stern.

1432
01:26:28,963 --> 01:26:30,065
Bessie.

1433
01:26:30,999 --> 01:26:35,203
She was born
December 17th, 1929.

1434
01:26:36,237 --> 01:26:40,375
She was married to Sidney Stern
for 50 years,

1435
01:26:41,076 --> 01:26:43,378
and they had two children,

1436
01:26:43,978 --> 01:26:46,047
Stephen and Rachel.

1437
01:26:46,746 --> 01:26:49,715
And four
beautiful grandchildren.

1438
01:26:51,218 --> 01:26:52,819
After Sid died,

1439
01:26:52,953 --> 01:26:56,722
we lived together
for 11 years.

1440
01:26:59,493 --> 01:27:02,963
And sometimes when you live
with someone for that long,

1441
01:27:03,097 --> 01:27:05,999
you forget where you end
and they begin.

1442
01:27:06,934 --> 01:27:10,104
And I am so sorry,

1443
01:27:10,236 --> 01:27:13,872
so sorry that I betrayed
your trust.

1444
01:27:16,209 --> 01:27:19,912
I... I tried to fill the hole
that she left.

1445
01:27:20,046 --> 01:27:25,251
I told her story
like it was mine because...

1446
01:27:29,222 --> 01:27:31,224
I... I miss her.

1447
01:27:38,363 --> 01:27:41,967
And now, I... I need to tell it
because she can't, uh...

1448
01:27:42,100 --> 01:27:43,634
Go on.

1449
01:27:51,209 --> 01:27:53,345
<i>After we</i>
<i>were captured,</i>

1450
01:27:54,645 --> 01:27:56,348
<i>we were taken to Auschwitz.</i>

1451
01:27:58,449 --> 01:28:00,817
<i>We were separated.</i>

1452
01:28:02,453 --> 01:28:03,921
They took my mother.

1453
01:28:04,054 --> 01:28:07,424
My brother
tried to run after her,

1454
01:28:07,558 --> 01:28:10,094
but I had to hold him back.

1455
01:28:10,227 --> 01:28:11,262
I had to.

1456
01:28:14,999 --> 01:28:16,799
We survived

1457
01:28:16,934 --> 01:28:18,035
because we could work

1458
01:28:18,169 --> 01:28:20,271
in the ammunition factory.

1459
01:28:24,507 --> 01:28:26,708
We had small hands.

1460
01:28:28,077 --> 01:28:31,047
And that was good
for that kind of work.

1461
01:28:32,848 --> 01:28:33,883
Mm.

1462
01:28:34,017 --> 01:28:36,252
Then one day,

1463
01:28:36,386 --> 01:28:37,921
they moved us...

1464
01:28:39,389 --> 01:28:41,391
packed us in trains.

1465
01:28:41,524 --> 01:28:43,927
Well, we... we didn't know
where we're going.

1466
01:28:44,060 --> 01:28:46,094
How did you ever get away?

1467
01:28:46,895 --> 01:28:49,464
On top of the trains,

1468
01:28:49,598 --> 01:28:51,633
there were soldiers with guns,

1469
01:28:51,766 --> 01:28:54,903
and they would shoot at anyone
who would jump from a window.

1470
01:28:55,037 --> 01:28:57,139
My God, did people jump?

1471
01:28:58,507 --> 01:28:59,840
I did.

1472
01:29:01,410 --> 01:29:02,945
Well...

1473
01:29:03,078 --> 01:29:06,682
I wouldn't have done it,
but I saw my brother,

1474
01:29:06,814 --> 01:29:09,749
he jumped first,
so I did the same thing.

1475
01:29:11,219 --> 01:29:13,487
I landed in a ditch of snow,

1476
01:29:13,621 --> 01:29:15,590
and I was running.

1477
01:29:15,722 --> 01:29:17,724
I was running.

1478
01:29:18,825 --> 01:29:20,827
They kept on shooting.

1479
01:29:20,962 --> 01:29:22,897
I could hear the bullets.

1480
01:29:23,531 --> 01:29:24,665
Oh.

1481
01:29:24,798 --> 01:29:26,434
I end... I ended up

1482
01:29:26,567 --> 01:29:27,668
in the woods.

1483
01:29:28,735 --> 01:29:32,305
It was wet, and there was snow,
and I was so cold,

1484
01:29:32,439 --> 01:29:35,008
but I did not move.

1485
01:29:35,141 --> 01:29:38,545
I stood still,
and I... I waited.

1486
01:29:38,678 --> 01:29:40,146
I just waited.

1487
01:29:42,815 --> 01:29:44,184
Then when the...

1488
01:29:44,817 --> 01:29:45,719
train was gone

1489
01:29:45,851 --> 01:29:48,088
and it was quiet,

1490
01:29:48,922 --> 01:29:50,756
that's when I stood up.

1491
01:29:52,325 --> 01:29:56,362
I... I still don't understand.

1492
01:29:56,495 --> 01:29:58,664
My brother, he...
he jumped, I mean,

1493
01:29:58,796 --> 01:30:01,033
a few seconds
before me,

1494
01:30:01,166 --> 01:30:04,103
and it took me hours
till I found him.

1495
01:30:05,671 --> 01:30:06,905
And...

1496
01:30:14,713 --> 01:30:15,748
When...

1497
01:30:15,881 --> 01:30:17,349
When I did...

1498
01:30:19,884 --> 01:30:23,554
I could not even recognize him.

1499
01:30:26,190 --> 01:30:28,293
Fourteen times, they shot him.

1500
01:30:28,426 --> 01:30:29,527
You counted?

1501
01:30:29,661 --> 01:30:31,329
I had to!

1502
01:30:32,796 --> 01:30:34,432
I had to know.

1503
01:30:43,640 --> 01:30:45,609
I picked him up,

1504
01:30:45,742 --> 01:30:48,111
and I took him in my arms...

1505
01:30:50,714 --> 01:30:53,216
and I took him to the forest.

1506
01:30:54,885 --> 01:30:57,421
I lay him to rest the way...

1507
01:30:58,854 --> 01:31:00,856
Oh, the way my parents

1508
01:31:00,991 --> 01:31:02,993
would have wanted.

1509
01:31:12,268 --> 01:31:14,970
I asked myself so many times,

1510
01:31:15,705 --> 01:31:17,106
"Why?

1511
01:31:19,041 --> 01:31:20,543
"Why am I alive?

1512
01:31:22,611 --> 01:31:23,713
"Why is he dead?

1513
01:31:24,580 --> 01:31:27,416
"Why is my brother dead?
What did he do?

1514
01:31:29,985 --> 01:31:32,354
"How could God exist?"

1515
01:31:33,888 --> 01:31:37,325
It took me years
to go back and pray.

1516
01:31:38,827 --> 01:31:40,128
And...

1517
01:31:40,261 --> 01:31:44,299
I think I'm beginning
to... understand.

1518
01:31:44,432 --> 01:31:45,533
Maybe...

1519
01:31:47,035 --> 01:31:49,237
Maybe God saved me...

1520
01:31:51,406 --> 01:31:54,274
so I can share my life
with you.

1521
01:32:09,056 --> 01:32:10,224
Oh.

1522
01:32:12,960 --> 01:32:15,863
I think, oy...

1523
01:32:15,996 --> 01:32:17,430
I'm all...

1524
01:32:19,665 --> 01:32:21,601
spoken out.

1525
01:32:22,502 --> 01:32:24,570
You think
you'll be able to sleep?

1526
01:32:37,950 --> 01:32:39,385
I love you, El.

1527
01:32:46,458 --> 01:32:47,626
Come.

1528
01:33:17,421 --> 01:33:20,691
I think we deserve
to sleep in tomorrow.

1529
01:33:20,825 --> 01:33:22,326
What do you think?

1530
01:33:23,494 --> 01:33:25,062
Bess?
