What do you think helped you to survive?
G-d helped me, G-d stood over me. I slept in a forest for over a year, I was with about twenty-five other people. In the winter we built a shelter. It was terrible, cold and snowy. One time we, we were digging and found fresh water running underground. G-d sent us water. We needed water to drink and wash and we had it. You can’t wait for others to help you, you have to be active and help yourself.
