: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
...picked me up at the boat...
:52:57
...and took me back home.
:52:59
At the entrance stood...
:53:02
...the maid who, I wouId Iearn Iater,
actuaIIy ran the househoId...
:53:06
...and haIfway up the stairs
sat a IittIe boy of five...
:53:09
...Iooking at his "´new"´ brother.
:53:14
When we got home,
my maid, SeIena, was there...
:53:16
...and she said to me,
"´Can´t we change it?"´
:53:18
He was fiIthy, you know, and smeIt...
:53:21
...of sick and everything.
:53:24
Anyhow, we gave him a bath.
:53:28
My grubby clothes,
after three days of travel, were torn off me.
:53:31
Burned, l learnt later.
:53:33
l was scrubbed from head to toe...
:53:35
...and then dressed in English clothes.
:53:39
Then the famiIy got together
for a chicken dinner.
:53:43
That I remember.
That´s a Ianguage I couId understand.
:53:48
And I started to feeI more at ease.
:53:52
l learned English...
:53:54
...by being sent to a German man,
rather old...
:53:58
...who lived a few houses down
the same street.
