Testimonial of Lissy JARVIK née FEINGOLD
written in 1996
Without Aristides de Sousa Mendes I would not be here.
It's as simple as that.
Without Aristides de Sousa Mendes I would have suffered tortures
so grievous and so prolonged
that death would have been a welcome relief.
Without Aristides de Sousa Mendes I would have missed out
on half a century --
half a century which allowed me to breathe; to live, to love -
to mature, to marry, to have children, to study, to teach
and to help a few people individually as well as to
contribute a little bit to our knowledge base on aging and mental health;
And I would have missed out on becoming part of a country
which was the home of a truly free people,
a country which offered opportunity to
the disenfranchised, the downtrodden, the needy --
to people like me.
