▪«I would go up on the rooftop and yell, because I felt like smoke was rising from my brain. Back then I finally understood the meaning of the saying they have: “Smoke rises from a person’s head.” It was unbelievable that we had experienced things that we had only read about in history books—nameless, faceless mass graves and… now I myself had experienced it. It was extremely hard to bear. And when there is no grave, nothing ever truly ends for you. You can’t even be sure whether they told you the truth or not. A thousand and one unanswered questions remain in your mind. And then you have to face questions from your children: “Where is our father?” How long can a person keep telling their children convenient lies in order to protect them?»
