Example text
A group of teenage boys wearing Hungarian Nazi armbands with swastikas and khaki caps had been guarding our farm, stationed there to make sure we did not get away. How long they had been there was anyone’s guess. We were only six Jews. How could we be so important? I clutched Miriam’s hand, not daring to look directly at them, but sneaking sideways glimpses at the soldiers. Papa closed the gate, and the boys marched us right back to our house. Our only chance of escape had just vanished. CHAPTER TWO On January 31, 1944, Miriam and I would turn ten years old.
When Dr. Mengele stopped at the bunks containing the three dead bodies, he flew into a rage. ” he screamed at the nurse and SS guards. ” Our nurse and the supervisors trembled. He continued counting until he came to Miriam and me. He stopped and looked at us. I was petrified. Then he moved on. The other children told us that he had been on the selection platform the day before when we had arrived. He was the one who made the selections of the prisoners with a flick of his baton. To the right meant the gas chamber, to the left, the camp and forced labor.
Like our family had before them, our new classmates enjoyed figuring out which twin was which. We also discovered we had two new Hungarian teachers at school who had been brought in from the city by the Nazis. To my surprise, they brought with them books containing slurs against Jews. The books also showed cartoon caricatures depicting Jews as clowns with big noses and bulging bellies. And marvel of marvels, for the first time, we saw “jumping pictures” projected on the wall—which is what we called early motion pictures because we did not know what a film was.
