He himself wouldn't have survived were it not for his neighbors. His neighbors -- Poles, Armenians and Georgians -- hid him and family members even though they were Germans. "It saved us," said Gart, now head of the Society of Germans in Abkhazia. "Nobody asked what nationality you were. There was that kind of friendship among different peoples."
