1:17:00
...but l was under the impression
that the torpedo hit us sideways.
1:17:04
lt just bounced off.
1:17:07
Our luck, because if it had hit us...
1:17:09
...all of us would have been finished.
1:17:13
We were traveling,
going west for several days...
1:17:18
...but suddenIy our outIook said:
1:17:20
"´Something´s happening and we are not
going west. We´re going south."´
1:17:25
We had no idea where we were going,
except it must have been Australia.
1:17:30
We were starving daily.
They were treating us like pigs.
1:17:34
Being hungry every day,
peopIe were Iining up in the kitchen...
1:17:38
...to get an empty pot where the jam was,
just to scrape it out.
1:17:42
And having one sIice of bread.
1:17:46
The existence from one day to another
was worse than the day before.
1:17:50
And we were on the ship
for almost completely two months!
1:17:55
What happened on the Dunera?
1:17:57
Years Iater, I´m thinking:
1:17:59
"´This didn´t happen to me.
It must have been somebody eIse...
1:18:02
"´...because it was too horribIe to describe."´
1:18:09
From an overseas liner in Sydney harbor...
1:18:11
...a strange contingent of new arrivals
is transshipped aboard a ferry.
1:18:14
Enemy aliens who are being interned
in Australia for the duration of the war.
1:18:19
Before we knew it, we were off the ship.
1:18:22
The first thing l remember
is that each one of us...
1:18:25
...got a box...
1:18:27
...of food. That was the best meaI
I ever had in my Iife.
1:18:32
After starving for two months...
1:18:34
...I opened up the box.
There were two cheese sandwiches...
1:18:37
...thick Iike this, and a banana...
1:18:39
...and an appIe, and an orange...
1:18:43
...and they were giving second heIpings.
1:18:45
It was unbeIievabIe.
1:18:50
As the war progressed...
1:18:52
...reports of mass arrests and deportation
of Central-European Jews...
1:18:57
...began to reach Britain.
