...appealed to us very much.
We saw their pictures in the newspapers.
:27:04
The coronation with their ermine clothes
and crowns on their heads.
:27:08
And we reaIIy thought that in EngIand
that´s how peopIe dressed.
:27:12
Perhaps not every day,
but sometimes on Sundays.
:27:15
So that was our expectation of EngIand.
:27:20
I was toId this was the best thing
that couId happen, and I was so Iucky...
:27:24
...because everybody around me
was trying to find pIaces...
:27:29
...for their chiIdren.
:27:30
And, suddenIy, out of the bIue...
:27:33
...I had a chance to come to EngIand.
:27:36
How lucky can l be?
:27:43
My parents said
l´d be able to go back to school...
:27:46
...l will learn another language...
:27:48
...l will live in London,
l will be able to travel on the subway....
:27:53
And painted a beautiful picture.
:27:56
And added, again and again:
:27:59
´´And we´ll follow soon. ´´
:28:01
However, a few days or so...
:28:03
...before I was to Ieave...
:28:06
...I accused my parents
of trying to get rid of me.
:28:11
l said to my parents,
´´l´m really a gypsy child...
:28:14
´´...and now you´re trying to get rid of me.
You adopted me...
:28:18
´´...and now you no longer want me. ´´
:28:20
I must have reaIIy, deepIy,
deepIy hurt my parents.
:28:27
Since German policy in 1938
was to force Jewish emigration...
:28:32
...the Nazis willingly let
the children leave...
:28:34
...as long as they did not take
any valuables with them.
:28:38
Each child was allowed one suitcase...
:28:41
...one piece of hand luggage...
:28:42
...and ten reichsmark.
:28:54
We had four days...
:28:55
...to pack and go.
:28:58
My parents were so busy getting ready
the things l was going to take...
