[Music] it's hard to describe what it's like to be a tad issue CMS ass and dance with 18,000 people who were celebrating learning reviewing and knowing Tyra as I was dancing at the CMS ass I noticed to my right it was an elderly man dancing with what seemed to be four generations of his family members sons a grandson a great-grandson and there was also a non Jew in the mix I was so moved just by Jew in the mix I was so moved just by watching them dance together and it was especially taken by this old man he was radiating with happiness I just wanted to talk to him and hear his story so after they finished dancing I approached him and asked him if he could talk a few minutes and that's how I first met mr. Applebaum my life started as a kid running around and bedford-stuyvesant I was from and not from I came from from house I always thought rabbits in yalta although I didn't know what are we doing although I didn't know what are we doing I we had very little Jewish education I come out no nothing December the 7th 1941 Japan pulled a raid on Pearl Harbor and Beverly rolvaag just led war against Japan decided to recruit soldiers and I was one of them he was trained as a communications officer and was sent to this American control that Japanese island called Guadalcanal and that's where it all happened around 6 p.m. it
