| 0:00.0 | This year there will be millions of refugees and displaced families observing the month of Ramadan |
| 0:06.1 | while struggling to make ends meet. Many are far from home facing the absence of their loved ones, |
| 0:12.3 | worrying about how to feed, clothe or shelter their children. With your Zuckard, you can extend |
| 0:18.4 | a helping hand to those in need. To support displaced families across the unmarred this Ramadan, |
| 0:23.8 | search UK for UNHCR Zuckard today. |
| 0:53.8 | Jewish community in Ukraine this last year. March of 22, David published a piece in the Wall Street |
| 1:02.4 | Journal that identifies the preparations for war times. Since then, we've learned a lot about |
| 1:08.1 | what's at risk and what isn't. David, a very good evening too. Thank you for this. Numbers help |
| 1:13.7 | to set the scale of this. How many members of the Jewish community in Ukraine have been evacuated |

| 2:06.6 | me 52 hours on the bus from crossing borders just to reach Berlin and have since returned because |
| 2:14.8 | your home is there, your life is there and they're going back. So those are the numbers that we're |
| 2:19.9 | looking at about 70,000 Jews altogether that are traveling, going back and forth and not settled. |
| 2:26.9 | I learned from your piece in the Wall Street Journal and our conversation that |
| 2:30.2 | Rebysch Niersen was born in Ukraine in the city of Mikhailaif. What is there now? Is that under fire? |
| 2:37.2 | Nikhailaif is a frontline city, very, very close and it's in the south central part of the country. |
