But for many, many years...
1:23:03
...l would see the postcard in front of me...
1:23:06
...and l would see she´s saying:
1:23:08
´´Traveling to the East. ´´
1:23:10
Yet l would understand that she´s saying...
1:23:13
...she´s traveling in an easterly direction.
1:23:15
Then l would say to myself:
1:23:17
"´Maybe she´s going back to Kippenheim.
1:23:20
"´And maybe that´s good."´
1:23:21
And the finaI good-bye, I didn´t understand.
1:23:32
l always felt l should be grateful...
1:23:35
...that we´d been saved,
and that these peopIe had taken us in...
1:23:41
...and that l should be happier there.
1:23:43
But facts are facts,
and it wasn´t a good place to be.
1:23:48
UncIe BiIIy...
1:23:49
...who was not a very courageous man...
1:23:51
...every night, he wouId...
1:23:53
...go into the country,
and he took us with him.
1:23:56
We went to escape the bombs...
1:23:59
...untiI one day,
the peopIe where we were staying...
1:24:02
...we aII sIept in a room there
in a cottage...
1:24:06
...and the peopIe said
they didn´t want the German chiIdren.
1:24:11
So we didn´t go to the country anymore.
1:24:23
One day the sirens sounded...
1:24:27
...and what was known
as the ´´Coventry Blitz´´ started.
1:24:41
And when the bombs started to fall...
1:24:43
...we stayed at Auntie Vera´s mother´s...
1:24:45
...who had a boarding house.
1:24:48
All night long...
1:24:50
...the bombs rained down...
1:24:52
...and Coventry was a very hot place to be.
1:24:55
We were in one house
and that was bombed.
1:24:59
There was a big fire upstairs
and everybody rushed out.
