"´We wiII not send them to strangers."´
1:45:06
l certainly do my share of remembering...
1:45:09
...but remembering also has to have...
1:45:11
...a present and future perspective.
1:45:14
You can´t just stop at remembering.
1:45:21
l don´t think l ever made
a conscious decision to devote myself...

1:45:25
...to human rights and social justice issues.
1:45:29
Someone helped me.
1:45:31
l can´t pay back...
1:45:33
...or thank some of the people
who helped me...

1:45:36
...but l can do something for other people.
1:46:10
l´ve come to a conclusion about myself:
1:46:14
ln 1938 l escaped...
1:46:17
...the deportation of Poland.
1:46:19
l got out of Germany
in the Kindertransport.

1:46:22
l was sent to Australia on a ship.
1:46:24
The ship was torpedoed
and nothing happened.

1:46:27
l got back to England and was in the army.
1:46:30
Why all these coincidences?
1:46:32
I´ve come to one concIusion:
I was meant to survive.

1:46:36
Not because of myseIf...
1:46:39
...but because the Jews were to survive.
1:46:41
And I wouId bring up another generation.
1:46:44
And they wouId Iive.
I Iook at my chiIdren...

1:46:47
...and my grandchiIdren, and I know...
1:46:49
...there was a purpose to my Iife.
