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...
:29:03
...that l don´t think they nor l had time...
:29:07
...to think about what was happening.
:29:13
My mother prepared all our clothes.
:29:15
She lovingly embroidered our names...
:29:18
...on every piece of clothing,
even every handkerchief...
:29:22
...every sock...
:29:23
...everything.
:29:26
l think l took my teddy bear.
:29:28
My mother...
:29:30
...always slept on a little pillow
on top of her big pillow...
:29:34
...and l asked her
if l could take that with me.
:29:37
She said, ´´Sure. ´´
:29:42
Mother had new clothes made
for both of us.
:29:45
We had a dressmaker at home
who did all the sewing.
:29:48
And some clothes she bought.
:29:50
Otherwise, around my neck...
:29:52
...because we were baptized,
hoping that would be...
:29:55
...of some help...
:29:56
...I had a IittIe cross...
:29:59
...and I had a IittIe eIephant...
