:30:01
...and I had a sort of....
:30:04
It wasn´t a Jewish star,
but it was a IittIe angeI.
:30:08
I put them aII together because I thought
the AImighty couId choose...
:30:11
...which reIigion
he wouId Iike me to beIong to.
:30:15
So sad the things I remember.
:30:23
l remember that last evening,
when all the cousins and all the aunts...
:30:27
...came to say good-bye.
:30:29
There was one aunt who had twins.
:30:32
She was extremely angry
with my parents...
:30:35
...for getting me onto this transport,
and for not having managed to get...
:30:39
...her twins onto the transport.
:30:42
There was grief and panic
and fury in that room.
:30:47
There was a moment...
:30:49
...that my father took me
between his knees...
:30:52
...and he said:
:30:53
"´Now, when you get to EngIand...
:30:55
"´...you must taIk to aII the EngIish peopIe
you meet and you have to ask them...
:31:00
"´...to get your mother and me out,
and your grandparents out."´
:31:04
And because this aunt was there
and had been so unhappy...
:31:07
...and so angry, he said,
"´And Aunt so-and-so´s twins."´
:31:12
Before long, l had a list...
:31:15
...of people whom l, at 10 years old,
had promised to save from Hitler.
:31:23
The transports began in December...
:31:26
...barely three weeks
after the Nazi pogrom.
:31:30
Although a few children traveled by plane...
:31:32
...the majority departed by train.
:31:35
Some trains left during the day...
:31:38
...many others in the dead of night.
:31:46
Each child was given a number.
:31:49
My number...
:31:50
...and l still have it, was 152.
:31:53
This was a number that every chiId...
:31:56
...put around its neck...
:31:57
...and a simiIar number
was attached to our suitcases.
