The Nazi border guard...
:41:07
...very officiously came around...
:41:09
...and made some of the children
open their suitcases.
:41:12
They shouted at us...
:41:14
...and threw their weight about.
:41:16
They were Iooking for
new things peopIe had.
:41:19
ChiIdren had new cIothes and things.
They didn´t Iike that.
:41:23
They gave the chiIdren a tough time.
:41:26
Children kept crying and crying.
:41:29
We were there quite a while.
:41:30
They took their time
and enjoyed doing what they did to us.
:41:57
Then suddenIy we were in HoIIand.
:42:01
Everyone was cheering:
:42:03
"´Those damn Nazis!
They shouId drop dead! Now we are free! "´
:42:13
There was howling, yelling, shouting,
and singing.
:42:17
lt was the best party l´ve ever been at...
:42:20
...although l didn´t really understand
what was happening.
:42:23
I was hoIding a big girI around the waist,
and she was hoIding me.
:42:27
They knew the songs they were singing.
:42:30
They were probabIy Zionist songs...
:42:33
...but I sang aIong
because it was so much fun...
:42:36
...to be part of this party.
:42:39
Not only were the frontier guards
on the Dutch side very nice...
:42:45
...they had a contingent...
:42:47
...of ladies who brought us cocoa...
:42:49
...and Dutch zwieback.
:42:52
It was Iike manna from heaven.
:42:54
It was wonderfuI.
:42:56
You suddenIy feIt
as though you´d been cIad...
