Nirgendwo in Afrika

:01:03

Of the other children, of the people on
the streets. I was even afraid of dogs.

:01:14

Oh come on, I'll help you.

:01:29

Germany is a dark place for me.
Not so light and hot as Kenia.

:01:34

A place with big buildings
and gloomy rooms.

:01:38

Dad says that Germany is our home.
I guess he misses his own father.

:01:43

My grandfather. He's allergic to nuts
And was not allowed to eat nut cookies .

:01:48

He liked Heinrich Heines poems.
Especially those about Germany.

:01:57

I had two aunts there too,
I really like them

:02:00

Aunt Käthe was my mother’s sister.
Dad’s sister was called Liesel.

:02:04

Sometimes they helped out in grandfather’s
hotel “Eagle”.

:02:08

But that was before the Nazis came.

:02:19

May I help you?

:02:22

No, thank you!

:02:37

We have to leave now.

:02:43

The Nazis didn’t allow my father
to work as lawyer.

:02:47

And they took grandfather’s hotel.
So the whole family had no job.

:02:52

I always got the same answer
If I asked my mother why:

:02:57

Because we are Jews, Regina.
That’s the only reason.
