#1

I was born in Berlin in 1924. My parents, Hans and Margarethe Jaretzki, had married in 1917 after my father, a German soldier, was invalided back from the Russian Front during the First World War. My paternal grandfather, Samuel Jaretzki, was a tough, disciplined man.

#2

My parents, Hans and Anna, were married in 1917. They had my brother, Claude, in 1920, and I was born five years later. My parents were happy, but the anti-Semitism they experienced made them realize that they could not stay in Germany. They left in 1934.

#3

I was nine years old when I heard the voices of the Hitler Youth singing the Nazi anthem to the drumbeat of their jackboots. I was out in the street with my friend Lottie, watching and waving happily as thousands of Hitler Youth marched past.

#4

My father was a Bauhaus architect and a leading light of the modernist Bauhaus design movement. In 1933, the Nazis threw him out of the Association of German Architects. He and my mother were able to move to England in 1934, where they lived in North London.

#5

I was nine years old and was devastated by the family’s departure. I missed my father terribly, and was constantly writing him notes on any bits of paper I could find. I was terrified that I would never see him again.

#6

I was put straight into a big Victorian bedstead with sheets and blankets, which was much more pleasant than the kipper experience. I was very homesick for my life in Berlin, but I didn’t complain. I knew that we had no other option.

#7

I had a grandmother in Czechoslovakia who was living with her son Freddy. She had been offered a new job in Brno, Czechoslovakia, working for Himmelreich Zwicker, a large textile manufacturer, as their export director.
