מאגר סיפורי מורשת

I was born in Germany to holocaust survivors. We were in the American section and the whole building was with survivors originally from Poland.

Many had also lost spouses and children and wanted to make a new start.

Each family had a room, the kitchen and wash room was for everyone.

When I was four and a half we finally got papers to go to America, considered the “goldena landt”. My mother was already very sick and my father worked every day the whole day. We were the only Jewish family and holidays were very sad and lonely.

.At home English was not spoken but I learnt from the neighborhood and television and school.

When I was nine my mother passed away and it was just me and my father. A year and a half later my father remarried and we moved to a new apartment, .new school, new friends. Later, my sister was born and moved into my room
