:33:04
There came the time to say to the parents:
:33:07
"´You cannot go to the pIatform.
:33:09
"´The poIice wiII not aIIow it.
:33:11
"´You have to say good-bye here."´
:33:12
So I ascended a chair there...
:33:15
...and addressed the peopIe.
:33:17
Where I got the courage to do that,
I don´t know.
:33:21
But l told the parents:
:33:23
´´This is your last good-bye. ´´
:33:27
They didn´t want the German public
to know what was going on...
:33:30
...because they had experiences...
:33:32
...of parents weeping and...
:33:34
...fainting at the platform.
:33:36
So we had to say good-bye...
:33:38
...groups had to say good-bye,
in an anteroom.
:33:41
The scenes were pretty horrendous.
:33:44
When my sister and brother left...
:33:47
...all the other parents were crying bitterly.
:33:52
I was so afraid.
:33:54
I didn´t want my mother to cry...
:33:56
...because she was a very strong person.
:33:58
l thought, ´´lf she cries...
:34:02
´´...terrible things will happen. ´´
:34:05
I kept on Iooking at her, and I said,
"´Don´t cry. You won´t cry."´ And she didn´t.
:34:13
l got to the station,
which was crowded with people.
:34:18
All the children had parents with them...
:34:20
...and I was sitting there aII by myseIf.
:34:23
I had no parents. Nobody.
I was just there with a suitcase.
:34:29
There was nobody´s shoulder
l could cry on.
:34:32
All l knew was l was going away.
:34:34
I was going to EngIand.
:34:35
Whatever wouId happen wouId happen.
:34:39
Every day my father said:
:34:41
´´Pupela, l don´t want you to go.
:34:43
´´But l want you to go
because it´ll be good for you. ´´
:34:47
The day came and we went.
:34:50
My mother and dad
went with me inside the train...
:34:55
...and put my suitcase up.
:34:57
My seat was right at the window.
