: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.
:16:03
l think everybody was petrified.
:16:06
I aIso remember very vividIy
that they were beating up the rabbi.
:16:11
And they had fetched the Torahs
out of the synagogue.
:16:16
And I think they were trampIing on them.
:16:28
l took my bicycle
and went to school as always.
:16:33
There was no Jewish business
that l passed...
:16:36
...that wasn´t broken into.
:16:40
The merchandise was either on the street...
:16:42
...or looted completely.
:16:47
As I got cIoser to schooI...
:16:49
...I saw huge piIIars of smoke...
:16:53
...coming from the sections...
:16:55
...where the two big synagogues
in Frankfurt were.
:16:58
And l saw that they were on fire.
