:51:00
...and when the ladies had gone...
:51:02
...I wrote in my Ietter to my parents,
"´By the way, what is Orthodox?"´
:51:08
My brother had been chosen first...
:51:10
...to be the playmate
of a little boy in Coventry.
:51:13
Then they asked me if l´d like to go
to a family there.
:51:16
Of course, l jumped at the chance.
l wanted to be near my little brother.
:51:19
They chose me as a maid, but I didn´t know
I was supposed to be a maid.
:51:25
l hadn´t ever thought
of becoming a servant.
:51:31
But I drew the Iine.
I point bIank refused to wear a uniform.
:51:35
I think they took me
to show off in front of the neighbors...
:51:38
...because they were working-cIass peopIe.
:51:41
The culture shock was very great...
:51:43
...and also the fact that my clothes
were better than hers.
:51:47
She took great exception to that...
:51:49
...and she took the clothes and all.
:51:51

:52:00
There were certainIy some who weren´t.
:52:02
There were certainIy some
who were misused...
:52:05
...and used as servants
if they were of the right age.
:52:09
l wouldn´t claim that it was
a 100-percent success, but...
:52:13
...I wouId cIaim that everybody
who came was aIive at the end of the war.
:52:20
You felt you wanted to do something.
:52:22
There was a meeting in Norwich...
:52:26
...of a few Jewish congregates,
and non-Jewish.
:52:29
They said, "´Any offers to take chiIdren?"´
:52:31
My husband and I said yes.
:52:35
Then some photographs
were handed around.
:52:39
I remember there were some boy twins.
:52:42
My heart ached,
but we couIdn´t afford it in those days.
:52:45
We didn´t know what was going to happen.
:52:48
So that´s when...
:52:50
...we took Kurt.
:52:52
Percy and Mariam...
:52:55
