Transcript

"Life changed immediately really, because the orders came from the Jewish community, you must give up your radio, you must give up your electric iron, you must give up this, that and the other. And so one slowly had to give up one's comforts. Also, after all they then had this operation, and we had to leave the house, and before that I was… organised the transport of my children to England. There was constantly something one had to look after, so life stopped, the normal life stopped immediately. Even before, because I knew something was coming; I had the intuition that one couldn't stay there and I had prepared furniture and everything for moving to England, or to Palestine. And so life was changed completely."
