But now, the Nazis continued
their persecution of the Jews.
:14:05
ln November,
they orchestrated a vicious pogrom...
:14:08
...which they later called KristaIInacht:
:14:11
´´The Night of Broken Glass. ´´
:14:19
l had had a strange dream in the night...
:14:21
...that my father was being arrested.
:14:26
Our evening meaI that evening...
:14:28
...was the Iast meaI
I ever remember having with my father.
:14:31
I Iooked at him...
:14:32
...and l thought, well, l hadn´t really...
:14:35
...seen his features properly.
:14:38
You know
how you Iook at somebody intenseIy?
:14:41
And something toId me...
:14:43
...that I must imprint
that image of him in my mind.
:14:51
Before l went to bed...
:14:53
...my father, in a rather stern voice,
said to me:
:14:56
"´If you hear any strange noises
during the night...
:14:59
"´...immediateIy get out of bed...
:15:01
´´...and go into that wardrobe
in the hallway. ´´
:15:04
And l said, ´´l don´t understand. ´´
:15:06
And quite differently than my father...
:15:10
...wouId normaIIy answer my questions,
he said:
:15:13
"´Don´t ask any questions,
just do as you´re toId."´
:15:18
l was woken up at 2:00 a.m.
:15:22
Terrible banging on the door.
:15:24
There were two...
:15:26
...Nazis at the door...
:15:28
...shouting, "´You´re aII under arrest!
Put some cIothes on and come with us! "´
:15:37
l remember that it was a very cold...
:15:39
...very dark night. We all went off...
:15:42
...to an assembly point,
which was like a big square.
:15:46
And there were just...
:15:48
...thousands of other Jews.
:15:50
And l mean thousands.
:15:54
And there were people l knew
and people l didn´t know.
:15:57
And people getting beaten up.
:15:59
And people crying.
