A story about getting new boots as a child. 00:03:44 - Mrs. Gold: Her father was a Radomsker Hasid who started out more secular and modern. Her mother was the breadwinner. Memories of Shabbos. Her parents survived the war and were forced to stop dressing Hasidic as a matter of survival. About Germans cutting off Jews' beards. 00:06:43 - Mrs. Gold: Does not want to dwell on the past and wants to focus on the good things she has in her life now and to live through her children. 00:08:01 - Mrs. Gold: Her father lived long enough to see her children and her mother to see some of her grandchildren. 00:08:43 - Mr. Gold: About going with his father in 1933 to the wedding of the Belzer Rebbe's daughter. In 1993 went to the wedding of the Belzer Rebbe's son in Jerusalem. Compares the two events. Son represents continuity.
