:23:03
My husband said, "´She must go."´
:23:05
He didn´t Iisten to me.
:23:08
He just arranged everything for her.
:23:12
And l had to give in, and l saw in the end...
:23:15
...that he was right.
:23:18
But the hurt is unbeIievabIe.
:23:20
That cannot be described.
:23:43
My father died when l was 3 years old.
:23:45
My mother had to go out to work...
:23:47
...so l wound up in the orphanage.
:23:51
When Polish Jews were arrested
all over Germany...
:23:55
...I´d found out
that my mother was deported.
:23:57
I was on my own.
I had nobody, no one, nothing.
:24:01
l went to the Gemeinde.
:24:03
There was this wonderful woman
who knew me there.
:24:05
She said,
"´Pascha, what are you doing here?
:24:08
"´Where´s your mother?"´
I said, "´My mother´s been deported."´
:24:12
And she said to me,
"´There´s something happening now.
:24:16
´´l think you should get onto it. ´´
lt was the Kindertransport.
:24:19
She said, "´You´d better register
immediateIy because you´re by yourseIf.
:24:23
"´What wiII you do?"´
:24:24
So I said, "´Okay. I´II go to EngIand."´
:24:26
Just Iike matter of fact,
as if it was nothing.
:24:31
ln hindsight...
:24:32
...l think my sister and l...
:24:34
...we owe it to my father´s death...
:24:37
...that we have survived...
:24:39
...because they seIected...
:24:40
...chiIdren...
:24:42
...who had probIems...
:24:45
...who´d Iost parents...
:24:46
...or whose parents
couId no Ionger Iook after them...
:24:49
...to go on the Kindertransport.
:24:53
Mother came home
and said that she´d enrolled us.
:24:57
About a fortnight later...
:24:58
...my parents were toId that I couId go.
