And I know I tried… to go to the place where we lived. And I managed – managed to go on the first floor. I managed to go halfway up the floor, and it was extremely painful… because every step, you have a memory. And half way up I… realised, “What will I see there? Who do I know? [inaudible???I don’t want to know .]” What’s important is the family that’s not behind there. And they’re not there. And… I never went back to that place.
