       Worms, where I was born and where we lived,

       Once on the moving train, it was like turning a page of my life

       On our way to Le Havre we spent 24 hours in Paris.

       On the day of arrival Mother again was simulating emotion rather than illness.

       In Germany I don’t recall ever having been allowed alone on the street,

       In 1933/34 Vladi and I went to a Kindergarten run by nuns, where we were very happy.

       When Mother had fully recovered,

       I feel I had to write this true story …

       I wish also to remember those 30 members …

       I want to thank …

       Worms, wo ich geboren wurde und wo wir lebten,

       Als wir im fahrenden Zug saßen, schien es mir, als sei in meinem Leben eine neue Seite aufgeschlagen.

       Auf unserem Weg nach Le Havre verbrachten wir 24 Stunden in Paris.

       Am Ankunftstag simulierte Mutter erneut Gefühle, statt Krankheit.

       Ich entsinne mich nicht, in Deutschland je allein auf die Straße oder in einen Park gedurft zu haben …

       1933/34 gingen Vladi und ich in einen von Nonnen geleiteten Kindergarten, wo wir sehr glücklich waren.

       Nach Mutters völliger Genesung …

       Mich drängte ein Gefühl zur Niederschrift meiner eigenen Geschichte

       Denken möchte ich auch an jene 30 Mitglieder …

       Danken möchte ich …

      This is the second book authored by Tanya Josefowitz, while the first, entitled Capinero. A Bird, was privately published in Switzerland in 1992. Discovered in May 2019, it is in the process of being edited and translated, and it will appear in due course.

       Editor’s note, January 2021

      Ilya Kagan arrived in Worms as a Russian Prisoner of War in 1914. Interned, he created a carpenter’s workshop, producing furniture and training people, thus doing useful work and gaining friends. Once well-integrated, he decided to stay on in Worms.

      J. W. R., editor

      I dedicate this book to all the generous people who have the courage to vanquish their fears in the face of unquestionable danger, in order to help others in imminent oppression.

      Worms, where I was born and where we lived, was a small but beautiful old town¹. My parents were quite well known there and everybody seemed to like them, including the officials of the city who would close an eye to the warm relationships they had with Christian friends. Many of my parents’ friends were not Jewish, and after Hitler’s rise to power they were not permitted to mingle with Jews.
