l had got some school friends...
:05:07
...and my mother tried to make
a birthday party for us.
:05:12
The tabIe was set.
:05:14
I was very excited.
:05:16
Nobody came.
:05:18
Not a singIe chiId
came to this birthday party.
:05:24
That was the first...
:05:27
...terribIe bIow to me.
:05:28
I know it sounds triviaI...
:05:30
...but it was the first
sort of comprehension for a chiId...
:05:33
...to understand that you´re ostracized.
:05:36
That there´s something different about you.
:05:46
For Jewish children...
:05:48
...life under Hitler became increasingly
isolated and threatening.
:05:52
While the Nazis stripped their parents
of their jobs and citizenship...
:05:55
...the children were gradually barred
from schools...
:05:58
...parks, theaters, and swimming pools.
:06:06
l was overprotected because of...
:06:09
...the Hitler dangers outside the home.
:06:12
But very much loved in the home.
:06:15
My mother sitting on my father
for a cuddIe...
:06:18
...was an everyday occurrence.
:06:21
I had to join in,
or eIse I wouId have been jeaIous.
:06:24
He had to have both of us on his Iap.
:06:28
My father used to say:
:06:31
´´l´m too old to start again. ´´
:06:33
Although he spoke perfect English...
:06:35
...he felt he was just not young enough
to start in a new country.
:06:41
And the other sentence,
which was because...
:06:44
...his father and grandfather, and so on...
:06:48
...were born in Germany was:
:06:50
"´This has got to change.
:06:52
"´This madman, HitIer, can´t possibIy Iast."´
