"´Under arrest?
1:15:02
"´For what?"´
1:15:03
"´You are an enemy aIien,
pIease come with us."´
1:15:08
After Germany invaded Western Europe...
1:15:10
...the British began rounding up
all refugees from Germany and Austria...
1:15:14
...who were over the age of 16.
1:15:17
Although the vast majority
were refugees from Nazi persecution...
1:15:21
...anyone with a foreign accent
was viewed as a potential saboteur.
1:15:25
Within a few months...
1:15:27
...the government interned approximately
30,000 men and women.
1:15:32
Plans were made
to deport as many as possible.
1:15:35
The good thing about Iife is
you remember aII the good things...
1:15:39
...that happened to you.
1:15:41
Bad things, you forget about them.
1:15:43
ln fact, you have to make an effort
to really remember them.
1:15:48
The day came
when we had to go to the ship.
1:15:50
Soldiers were standing there
with bayonets...
1:15:53
...mounted on their rifles.
1:15:55
And they pushed us aIong and said:
1:15:58
"´Leave your Iuggage, you´II get it Iater on."´
They pushed us aIong the deck.
1:16:02
Before Iong, we went down the stairs,
then more stairs. I was on the third deck.
1:16:08
Over 2,500 prisoners...
1:16:11
...twice the capacity of the ship...
1:16:12
...were crammed onto the HMT Dunera...
1:16:15
...supposedly bound for Canada.
1:16:20
Two days out of Liverpool...
1:16:22
...the Dunera was spotted
by a German U-boat.
1:16:30
Suddenly, something hits the ship.
1:16:32
The lights went out.
1:16:34
This is the end of it.
1:16:35
Everybody gravitated towards...
1:16:38
...the stairway,
which Ied to the deck above.
1:16:42
After about two minutes...
1:16:44
...you couIdn´t get up there
because there were many...
1:16:47
...peopIe going up the stairs,
we were just choking.
1:16:50
SuddenIy, the Iights went on again.
1:16:52
Everybody stopped in their...
1:16:55
...steps and went back down.
1:16:58
The torpedo didn´t explode...
