...I went up to her,
put my arms around her...
:48:03
...and she pushed me away.
:48:05
And her words were, "´That´s sissy."´
:48:08
She may have said something eIse Iike,
"´We don´t do this, that´s sissy."´
:48:12
But the words "´That´s sissy"´
have never Ieft me.

The children arrived in England
at the rate of about 300 a week.
:48:22
Those who were not already placed
in foster homes...
:48:24
...were taken to temporary centers...
:48:26
...hastily set up in summer holiday camps...
:48:29
...like Dovercourt.
:48:45
They did try and keep us busy.
:48:49
The memorable part
of this camp experience was...
:48:52
...that it was one
of the coldest winters in history.
:48:58
We all went for breakfast to this big hall.
:49:02
The snow came in through the cracks.
:49:06
We had this curious food. We had kippers.
:49:09
What IittIe Austrian-Jewish chiId
has ever heard of kippers?
:49:12
Here was this saIty,
shoe Ieather on our pIates...
:49:15
...and it had snow on it. It was interesting.
:49:18
While we were sitting...
:49:20
...around the stove,
always with our coats on...
:49:22
...and with our little gloves on...
:49:25
...groups of people would come...
:49:28
...to choose children
to take away with them.
:49:34
We called it the ´´Cattle Market´´...
:49:36
...because every Saturday and Sunday...
:49:38
...we were told to put on our best clothes...
:49:41
...and visitors used to come.
We feIt a bit Iike...
:49:44
...the monkeys in the zoo.
:49:45
We were being stared at and evaIuated.
:49:48
PeopIe were chosen, taken away
from the tabIes, and interviewed...
:49:52
...if you were suitable
to be taken to their families.
:49:55
Most families...
:49:57
...wanted little blue-eyed and blonde girls...
