He said: "We waited in the forest. We had no where else to go where they might find us. If they found us, they would kill us all. The children would die first. They would make certain that we witnessed that. They they would kill the woman, and lastly, us. We were used to being in the wooded, old, forests. Many of our people had lived a long time among the trees and vines. It was cool in the forest and we could be hidden there where we could see them coming for us if that was what they were bent on doing. We had lost our homes, most of us, so the forest was our new homes, where we hoped to find mercy and where we set about to make a new life. And we waited for a sign; a sign to let us know that we were where we were supposed to be so that we would know when it would come; when our liberation would come."
