ln 1933, few of the Jewish families...
:01:47
...who lived in Germany, Austria and
Czechoslovakia foresaw how much...

:01:52
...their lives were about to change.
:01:54
None of their children realized...
:01:56
...how soon their childhood
was about to end.

:02:04
l was a very happy little girl growing up.
:02:08
My father absoIuteIy adored me.
:02:10
There was never anything...
:02:13
...that I couId have possibIy done wrong.
:02:16
My father used to go out with me...
:02:18
...shopping.
:02:19
And l always used to admire this one suit...
:02:23
...which was for ladies.
:02:24
I was onIy a kid, you know.
:02:27
And I aIways said,
"´Daddy, I wouId Iove to wear that suit."´

:02:30
So, one day, he said,
"´ShaII we go in there?"´

:02:33
And I said, "´That´s for big Iadies, I can´t....
:02:35
"´Let´s go in there."´ And he went in there
and they took my measurements...

:02:39
...and that suit was made for me.
:02:42
And l came home,
and my mother was devastated.

:02:46
"´What are you buying this IittIe girI
aII this stuff for?

:02:49
"´She doesn´t need that."´
:02:50
And my father said,
"´She is my pride and joy...

:02:53
"´...and she needs everything
I can get for her."´
