   Dr. Klibansky was a very nice man and I can thank him that I'm alive today – and my parents of course who let me go. We went to the Hauptbahnhof, we went on the train that time, to Holland. And when we came to Holland on the station people served us coffee and, you know, you felt more free already when you were out of Germany that time. But I didn't realize what was happening really, that time I was twelve years old. And we arrived in England, we went by ship, across to Harwich, and then to Liverpool Street Station, that's where people were waiting for us in their cars and took us to the hostel.

   Then, there we were – Dr. Seligsohn was our teacher, he was in charge of our boys in that hostel and, you know, we were well looked after. And I, being Jewish, was bar mitzwahed when I got thirteen, I was bar mitzwahed in February 1939.
