Okay. So, so I guess like to serve as a as a um disclaimer or introduction to the to the share that we're about to discuss. I just wanted to share a story that I heard from Ra Shaw um about Raisel Taur. Rael Taber was a Yidami. I think he's not alive anymore. Um he was born in Budapest like in the 1940s uh right in the leadup to to the you know liquidation of all the Jews in Hungary. Um he said that his mother at the time of the when the Nazis uh invaded and and you know all the Jews were carded off his mother was pregnant and he said it actually was the reason that saved her life because um because she was pregnant they took her to study you know to conduct medical studies and etc on her and ultimately that's what saved her life although that pregnancy of course didn't survive. Now he says that after the war when he survived and his mother survived he asked her he said you know I don't understand how during those dark days in in you know Hungary in Budapest in the 1940s how did you why were you having children how did you how were you able to and why were you you know having children at the time and he said she told her something that was like a profound message that really stuck with him and that was as follows she said every child that I that I am able to bring into this world is nitis it doesn't matter the condition of the child. It doesn't matter what happens with the child. Doesn't matter if the child is abled or disabled. Doesn't matter how they end up. Every child that I bring into this world is and what happens with them afterwards is already
