Answer 2

Making it impossible for Papa to join me. Or CONTACT me. He has to go into hiding, so I don't know if he is alive or ...dead. But thanks to Kindertransport we 10K rescued children are alive. And many of us are the only members of our families who survive the Holocaust.

Answer 3

And Isolate us. Because we are now forced to leave our homes and move into Ghettos across the occupied countries.

Answer 15

Agnes! When I can no longer walk, I am lined up to be shot. I hear 👂🏾 the machine gun and one by one, the women in my row fall dead. Some instinct tells me... "Pretend you are dead. Don't move or BREATHE" . I am too frightened to open my eyes but I hear Agnes and the remaining women forced to march ahead. They are all shot... And are among the 375,000 prisoners who die on the death marches. (Get up) I eventually opened my eyes and walk into a nearby town to ask for food 🥑🥝. People feed me but no one will let me sleep in their home or barn. So I sleep in the forest for two nights. On the third day, I come to a beautiful setting... A sheep farm where they make wool. A wonderful woman runs it, Frau Stritzel. She gives me a room, my very own bed... Makes me healthy food. I am very sick, very weak. I am 18 but look like I'm 80. But I hold on. The Americans have landed in France. And with them comes hope.
