´´My dear, good, darling parents:
1:00:04
´´l feel very safe here.
1:00:05
´´lf only l was not so very scared...
1:00:07
´´...about your safety. ´´
1:00:14
´´For my birthday, you wrote me...
1:00:16
´´...that l´ll always have to be brave...
1:00:18
´´...because you can´t be happy if l´m not.
1:00:21
´´And l can assure you...
1:00:22
´´...that l always grit my teeth and smile. ´´
1:00:28
´´Your letter of yesterday
was again so sweet...
1:00:31
´´...and written with so much love...
1:00:33
´´...that tears came running down
your Mommy´s face.
1:00:37
´´Your writing is so natural...
1:00:39
´´...it makes me imagine
that you´re standing before me. ´´
1:00:44
´´Your letters come to us like sunshine.
1:00:47
´´lt´s our future that gives us big worries.
1:00:50
´´We yearn to get away from here.
1:00:53
´´That´s our fondest wish.
1:00:55
´´lt´ll be a difficult task for you
to bring us over there...
1:00:59
´´...but l have the feeling
you´ll manage it in time. ´´
1:01:07
When l arrived in England...
1:01:09
...l made it my priority...
1:01:11
...to try and find homes for people...
1:01:14
...because l felt people didn´t know...
1:01:16
...how desperate it was in Germany.
1:01:19
My biggest probIem
was to try and get my parents out.
1:01:22
That was difficult,
because it was either finding them a job...
1:01:27
...and bearing in mind my father´s age...
1:01:30
...or getting this 100 guarantee...
1:01:32
...which was just nowhere to be seen.
1:01:37
l proceeded...
1:01:39
...to find large houses...
1:01:42
...and knock at the door to find out...
1:01:45
...whether l could get them a job.
1:01:49
My mother as a cook or bottle washer.
1:01:52
My father as a gardener.
1:01:54
Anything just to get them out.
1:01:56
Sometimes l knocked at the door
and l burst into tears.
