Yugoslavia

Bayram was born in Makedonia in 1932. Muslim.



He remembered his friend Abraham, a neighbour. During the war, Abraham's father would recycle old useless shoes, repair them and sell them in perfect condition so they would have some money to eat. One day he came to play with Abraham and he was not there. He had been taken to the "train" by the Nazis. He went to see his friend in the train. The wagons were locked, and all he could see was the hands of the people coming out the ventilation windows begging for water and food. He asked a german soldier about Abraham, and the german soldier told him to get out of there or he would kill him. He ran away. He came back the next day to see the train was gone. Later he learned that the Nazis were making soap out of the jew's corpses fat.

His father was killed by the Nazis in 1943. The house next door was bombed by the allies. He became a soldier of Tito. He said Tito was a good man, very intelligent. He moved to Istanbul 32 years ago with his wife and 2 daughters. His wife is from Slovania. He works in the souvenir store. The only store that charged very decent prices, 25 YTL for two cotton shirts. We spoke in German and English. He had beautiful blue eyes.



I had a bottle of water right next to his store. I chatted with the owners of the little place. she wanted me to be the boyfriend of her daughter... He also had beautiful blue eyes...
