00:00I've been told I've got survivor's guilt and it's a very difficult thing and it's not something I

00:05think I'll ever come to terms with. Adrian and Melvin who was stabbed outside the shawl were two

00:11of the nicest people but you could know. I've never been in the presence of evil before like

00:18that and I never ever want to be again. He was there solely because he hated Jewish people and

00:23he wanted to kill them. It doesn't happen on its own. Nobody wakes up one morning and says

00:27I'm going to kill Jews today.
