Memories from the "Kristallnacht" (November 9th,1938)

"My dad and brother had been deported two weeks earlier to Poland in Hitler’s effort to get rid of the Jews, starting with the Polish Jews. After my father was deported, my landlord’s son threatened to kill us so we moved in with my grandmother. Her address was 54 Schlossstrasse.My cousin, Herbie Ausubel and his mom lived there because his father was deported too. But on the 9th, it was just my mom, Aunt Fanny and myself. I was walking to school and as I turned the corner I saw billowing smoke and I heard fire engines. As I came closer, I found the synagogue and school next door burning. The fire engines were protecting the houses surrounding the Jewish property but they allowed the synagogue and school to burn. Then we heard the reason for that was that a young Jewish boy in France had killed a German ambassador.  Kristallnacht was at the same time. The stores were in the shopping area. My dad worked as an accountant at a store in Stuttgart. That store’s windows were broken along with other stores where jews worked. I went home and we didn’t know what happened until we heard the cause. The school was closed for a while and then they were able to reopen it. The synagogue wasn’t rebuilt until after the war. We lived in hiding and had to sneak back into our apartment when we were sure that the landlord’s son and the neighbors were not around. I needed to have my tonsils out but the hospital wouldn’t admit Jews so I had to pretend that I wasn’t Jewish. Two ladies in the room kept asking me why my father wasn’t coming to see me. I left on" Kindertransport" on August 23, 1939. England was the only country that would open its borders, and it agreed to take 10,000 children.
