Frida Muchnik nu a acceptat din prima să ne ofere acest interviu: locuitorii orașului Bershad o cunosc ca pe o persoană retrasă şi încăpăținată, pe care nu o vizitează nimeni şi care nu vizitează pe nimeni. Ea nici măcar nu m-a invitat la ea acasă. A acceptat să ofere acest interviu, dar mai târziu a spus că a făcut-o pentru că i-a plăcut vocea mea şi manierele mele rafinate, în afară de aceasta ea a spus că nu a intenționat să-şi amintească şi să povestească despre familia sa. Frida m-a vizitat la hotel: e o doamnă frumoasă, în vârstă, cu părul bine aranjat şi cu buzele ușor atinse de ruj. Purta pantaloni, o bluză şi o pălărie cu talie largă: s-a obișnuit să-şi protejeze capul şi fața de razele soarelui în Israel. Arăta provocator pentru acest mic şi sărac orășel şi locuitorii săi împovărați de griji. Frida e o persoană foarte interesantă cu o minte lucidă şi un bun simț al umorului. Ea vorbește franc şi deschis despre oameni, uneori poate cam dur, dar probabil că din punctul ei de vedere – corect.
