The way this will mean its not muslim. And then my system. And the less than that im the 2nd child and then the man finds us and if the man another miniature different name now from the way the commute. The family together and then the for example the rationing. Of the more you know what you feel is to find. You know when youre going to man from home and to me means im up there just phase 3 q. You know. We were best friends. And we did lot of things together he was the leader i was a follower. It was very nice. Up on. The wharf. The 1st victims of the war forgotten my history at the end of the 2nd world war 20000 children were stranded in the ruins of europe in the euphoria of liberation their fate became a footnote some of them found refuge in an old monastery near munich which became a center for Homeless Children in early summer 945. They had been snatched from their parents in the concentration camps or deported from their homeland to serve the nazi regime now a new life is to begin for them far away from the chaos of the postwar world. And i dont remember. Being together with lesley in the camps but but i do remember. That was. Their lives were coming through started out by train and then lives were close enough so that they would shoot at the local motor of the train move. And surgery started marching. And that that that was that. Funny that was sort of was my and that could much anymore and. Some of the focus by this turn up from a Different Group too much joined up with us if you if you felt you were shut her very so it was important to go over keep people up so he was between my brother and i kind of have to stay up if you can thats the shot you and i had of it so this is a very my life in one way. On days and days and days a modest house. And all of a sudden home looking sort of ahead of intervention i can still see what happened i see tanks never saw a tank of my life i was so tense coming from gathered that action and then they so dead says on the way its that on the way and the tapping so quick yes they tend. And they let the soldier says ok i did 10 because there was shooting going on that day a place to get behind a tent and then forget the day it was 23 and then maybe from 945 to the may prove the day. And im hiding in the one of those 4 muscles and the gnomes the. Guy comes up to me like gun says to me i jewish. Since im jewish it says now my son no my muslim jew. In need this of course. I was at a loss. Hundreds of thousands of prisoners on a road in bavaria. And i was just one of them for a 1st few days were babies by the u. S. Army they were giving us forward giving us candy a charkha it and after 3 days as stuffed you had to go and look for 4 years of. Children from the camps wandered all over europe without family without a goal it was a daily struggle for survival between the field hospitals and the allies and wherever they could find a roof over their heads. Even if theyre sufficiently dull i was a forced labor at b. M. W. And munich and vatican thats a cold as i. For taking that. For non jewish children who came from the Eastern European countries alone or were taken to germany with their families for forced labor deliberation was also the beginning of a new odyssey. Are bad guys the americans are all of bavaria we were placed in different camps. Some wanted to go back home others thought about emigrating there were more and more of us nobody really knew what was going to happen to us we were still children. Everybody knew there must be a choice of the guard. Nobody no harm and the choice of the right kind of shorter than. Later fisher was determined to help these children who were left to their own devices she grew up as a child of a jewish family in czechoslovakia and a graded to britain in 1039 her parents were murdered in the trip link a concentration camp. At the end of the war she volunteered with. 300. 12000 aid workers from almost every nation. Greater fisher was part of team 182. 00. Thats 6 p. For 8 people from different nationalities put into these a. To go to germany. And look for other Companies Short of them then started to look for a facility to open the truck and send. The american on move event the americans are all heres a quiz issue for us cluster isnt a store. Close. In the store is a catalyst close completely unsuitable for the purpose of art its good for core Children Center that it had the beds it had and so this side is to start the Childrens Center there. The church. Has really cleaned up the plays. And so on july 11th 1945 the 1st international Childrens Center for displaced persons opened a place where young Holocaust Survivors and children of Eastern European forced laborers could live together in a safe haven for lost children. And how could a child not feel lost among the flood of refugees the war had unleashed. In 1945 at least 11000000 displaced persons were distributed to around 700 camps in germany austria and italy. In does doff near done how specifically intended for children. Were to camp. As a dirty word to me i said im not interested in any camp un medics came around and said if you try this shit as camp if you go i kill you leave. We were accommodated in the Doctors Museum in munich together with adults you. Then miss fisher came and said you children cant stay here. If you said there was a drinking and Everything Possible that we werent supposed to see. So i guess she took us to endless doff you does that of only. Transport we had was the American Army so if you want to go on a base it was in america truck so. Somehow you got. To meet this store and they were not just there was also. A lot of. Polish other slavic people. Treat them churching. Yes theres you know i thought you know. Shes from the flooding she killing but we had been assigned to a large farm here. Worked in the fields of the lifeboat naive. The mother died in 1945 i think in february 1. So we were brought to interest off. Then miss fisher deceived us. She greeted all the children who arrived there. So she is the it them to go the. Whole time i was just trying to hold on to my sister spirit so she put me to far away. But the blue cloud story but it was a monastery so there were large swings and big staircases that lead to the upper floor. I still remember very well how it back over to when we ran down that. New polling if. 2 months after it opened 192. 00 children from 13 countries from babies to teenagers already live in dust off. The centers most urgent task was to reawaken their lost trust in humanity. My brain still. Bleeding. You know how much of a time. The 1st thing. Is to give to force to give the closing which was to focus the. Board which all of us take back for good. So we had somebody stand by the dining room and say you dont have to take bread you will get bread ever you want. But i saw some of those youngsters now 3040 years later some of them still take that. Piece of the pillow in order to make sure that there will be a next really a member having a potato soup. The mc read from this. Remember market for tomorrow morning no go get some stole. They grabbed hold plates of food and hid them under the tables of. The tables in the monastery were huge at least 15 meters lot. And then we enjoyed it later under the table for the dad time must have been a south the only thing i want to do that this of my life is eat and sleep then just eat and sleeve thats all i want to do we had very high stead as they had to eat this foxes for their dad live over and over and. Devote it. To the table and all this one for a person with the children that you know that you are very hungry you dont always take the tub or to take a life and the fork and spoon. You just take your hence. The it says that and some of those. Long was saying they had for us. As clean clothes and i was very day cause before that i was very big and once before or through one before it got i think its a wash not even bid our ship them so we could choose a dress or trousers but the everything was stacked on shelves and each child could choose what to wear. We have to be very innovative this is closing. They be closing. The boys and girls will be taught and to make their own tarsus and their own skirts from. Which we got from the house of horrors of that material which must deflect material which turned out the nazi flag was of that. Their huge rolls of blue and white cotton material which the germans used. As a make clothes for debate this and the smart children designed at heart and blue and white little you know pants and the children looked adorable you know they looked like they were french sailors. After everything we went through in the war in the store was paradise a paradise on earth. There were people who were there just for us. Mr marx and the others became like parents to us. Computer like home home was. But it felt save here. Queen elizabeth docking of south africa had a vote many delegates of the United Nations general assembly. As 1st Lady Eleanor Roosevelt had already in 1039. 00 urged jewish refugee children from germany be admitted to the u. S. A few months after the war ended she met with a United Nations observer delegation in europe she quickly realized the problems faced in rebuilding the shattered continent all too often former concentration camps only superficially converted served as emergency accommodation for the homeless was that liberation lack of food poor hygiene and inactivity left millions of people demoralized. Given the urgency of the situation roosevelt wrote. What is important is we have military the sooner these people can be taken where they can become citizens and feel they are actually building a new life the better it will be for the whole world. But the children of indias dont have abby could count on team 182 whether medical doctor psychologist or teacher their dedication was impressive. There ever since to the still dernier no mother no doctor ever seen. Mainly the emotional part to help the vista story if you had a problem you could always go to any one of them and they would solve it they try to solve it for you i will never forget what they done the needs of done a very good job this summer because dont forget people when they tend to be young boys in a terrible state traumatized i have this. Psychological problem saying why did i survive and not my other brothers and sisters my mother or my friends why did i do to deserve this freedom. Im never going to end. I find the perfect marriage. The perfect wife. Why couldnt they. Hear her here i know here. The majority of the survivors remained alone with their trauma the world closed its eyes to their fate life had to go on. But in interest on the children were encouraged to speak to let it all out. Each tell her story to tell tell her story. South of the separation of their parents off the smaller sisters and brother this. You must understand those who survived and especially the detours church. Theyre the really extraordinarily strong people their will to survive blocked out absolutely as was the visit to survive and the though they choose to live lick the block out absence of the f. You are recovering. Psychologically and physically and. I think we had the feeling that probably have a pretty good life so it was pretty good hope for. The future. After all that. Thats the kind of man you know the thing i remember very well was just his process of being normalised getting to feel normal again being human beings. With his threat to him when it wasnt like i couldnt speak any more to me. But i was dead inside. I didnt want to speak anymore that was that. He was 6 years old a child i was afraid all the time that he would just disappear. So we didnt leave each other side. Like that. No no mommy the evenings were the worst mom i was no longer there. During the day we were allowed 2 hours a day in the yard and then we could play to make. A little do you remember the mcalary clade in action or to last decades above it turned out the games yes and i still remember at some point the memory came back with how we danced in front of the building that youre under the arcades with. But before you had me after all the agony during the war we were doing well we were able to start our childhood all over again just for. Whoever wanted to could learn to play the guitar or the violin was we could choose anything and then there was the atmosphere we discovered American Music with music that was completely unknown to us. In that case saying if there was a theater. There was a small stand she she would give it was great fun over there for the solo book to. Learn some english they tried to teachers. Trades. And theyre doing some general schooling you know. Trying to make up some for what they miss. Because of this this we did what children do if you play soccer or watch movies when hugs or should i say thats what. The movie was its a gift the servant a snore her life is possible i assume that the day after the 3 much succeeded that. Europe was going through the most difficult phase of reconstruction the surviving jews from Central Europe were urged to return to their home countries but antisemitism had not disappeared with the allied victory and local residents were unwilling to accept the returning. In july 9 14642 people of jewish faith fell victim to a pogrom in the city of killed say in poland men women and children were killed by local residents. Violence persecution and attacks against jewish communities triggered a new wave of fear and prompted many polish jews to emigrate. In india for i dont remember anything you know dramatic happening but. There were some tension there one problem that originated long before in those are often longer for their freedom is that nationality is then get along with each other i remember one time i got into something again read some of the porsche. And some of my. Comrades who are very disapproving you know say. Lets reach them. Young boy my age i know younger much younger but bigger than me everybody is bigger. And. Cursed me out and called me as shit and. Nasty words for as you will and i hit him in the face and i broke his nose and i broke my finger. We would always go in the evening so it was a piece of chocolate which was a big sweet treat so one evening. The conversation came the next day so a group of jewish children rest. And then the girls steve. Heard that they said they would not stay this jewish children run plays that are jews for tell the people there the satyrs had horns and theyre afraid it would kill them all so i gave under their side and said we must be a jewish. So we told him we are choice you can knock him actually and this is clearly of those children this started crying and charged in than its not possible and you are good people and you helping us he took us months it took us months every day to grow over the same story that. There are jewish people there catalyst people do there are kinds of. There are good people and bad people but to be there here to help. The main task of team 182 was to offer psychological and practical help for the way back to a normal life it was a mission that was not always easy to accomplish. That when ever we venture school. The broils has already their pockets full of stones to go to stores and the population and we take soldiers and if you see anybody on the way inside the stands are there but this is all the 3rd this is how we found to take their. Portion that is a german came and complained that the children were stealing his apples. More dish it out the up. Then mr fischer asked him who is to blame the children of course and why are they here. Why did the children have to steal apples when you can you give them to them. Because other which will crush you gave quite some lessons to the germans and. The least they could do is not wait for the children to steal the apples and pears for to bring to us the apple and so you know somewhat to this is that by the end of 2 years we have the total village working for us. Lillian robbins director of the Children Center and in a staff described in a speech in the us in 1947 what reintegration meant to a displaced child. As nations negotiate new borders reparations and economic benefits that child only knows the consequences of exploitation of National Greed of war. He can grow up to become a bitter disillusioned selfish adult interested only in what works to his own advantage but such a child can also become the most important contributor to building a new world where International Cooperation is the cornerstone. It is the responsibility of the United Nations to clear the way for him but what way will this be. At the beginning we didnt know the allies that then after the year after 2 years we felt its farda security we could give those children not enough that this should we shouldnt stay in germany really should you know help to leave. To leave germany should be brought up 1st summer air river just anxious to get out of germany. Germany was like a graveyard for i decided then that id never want to go back to that country that betrayed me and i never want to go back when rod did what it could to help the children in their future life it issued id cards and try to find relatives it commissioned an american photographer to take pictures of every child in dust off. Pictures of a lost childhood the search for family members helped repatriate non jewish children to poland. Many found at least one of their parents. If it is tacky. I had applied to immigrate to the United States. A message from the red cross came 2 weeks before my departure that my mother was looking for me. She wrote come back my son. And so instead of going to america i went back to poland it was the out i went back out of love for my mother but nothing in the world could have changed my mind. You. The jewish orphans could no longer hope for a mothers love their search for relatives was almost always in vain. The camera team came to in the staff together with the photographer a chance of that changed the fate of the young. Using camera crew came very much like what i see here was a small ad i guess and film which. I went to the camera man and said to him you know i have a brother in america is a photographer very very unknown maybe you know him and he left. Americas big country i say brother of majlis name is martin moon. As soon as i said it he jumped off his seat. He said if one of my best friends i had dinner with him through the kill vehicle. Or went to his brother in new york and became a camera man himself but stories like his border on miracles. After the war ended france said made it 420 young survivors on one Rise Initiative but most of the others had no prospect of a new home the situation seemed hopeless. In ever over this moment the question of this was where we call. A little boy expressed fears of poorly he said. It was turned over the last hour holds it was 12 the last of parables but the worst sin is they have no call to the real state law is really no overt in nobody really knows about. And nobody wanted. Nobody wanted to know you can feel sorry for somebody but do nothing about it. I think i dont want people said this in this very i want. Be done for the people people were not nothing was done for the people there are still many years and years afterwards there was still the peak ends and germany across country didnt want to accept any survivors. A report to president truman describe the situation of the jewish survivors quite bluntly they have been liberated from or the military sense to actually their particular problems to this time of the being given attention to any appreciable extent consequently they feel that they who are in so many ways the 1st and worst victims of naziism are being neglected by the liberators trumans response was a december 22nd 1945 directive making immigration to the United States easier in the mean time progress also started to be made in dust off run of the 1st children to grow from just the industry or as a group of 42. 00 children. To end some a domain that anybody who is under 16 good going to invent us and the. Game and. Play nationally from munich to most of them Good Business and then we go and sit on the front of the members of the national strain. Of chairs im just on the floor. And now im running by. Whoever thought the jewish boy. Comes from his movies primitive village. In england. While leslie and later also martin were flown to britain alvin remained in dust off but then he found a distant cousin in the u. S. And emigrated there in 1986. He only saw his friend lesley again decades later. President truman also suggested setting up selfgoverning camps for jewish adults their residents soon organized Education Health care and religious Services Skills in handicrafts and for agriculture were also taught it was in keeping with the aspirations of the Zionist Movement which called for a political solution to the situation of the jews in europe their own state. A new chapter also began for indus doff in february 1946 a group of young jews arrived accompanied by zionist activists the magically seen their goal the emigration to palestine. Great official was impressed by the determination and independence of the young people what set them apart from the others was that they acted consciously as a collective and thus were prepared for life in a cupids in their future home. Very own. Oh. Oh oh and. Among the new arrivals in was a group of young jews from poland they gave themselves the name. Which means stone worked in hebrew they tried to return to poland but antisemitism in Eastern Europe forced them to say good bye to their old lives. If we find jews here will impale them on the pitch court thats something i heard. It was impossible to stay there because the locals didnt like jews. There was a network of jewish organizations in poland. That put together groups gratian to ericks israel. The Promised Land or theres really. Your. Own minaj by people who came from the milord. From woods we made our way in groups. We arrived in germany with all sorts of names and ages for example i had the papers of a 60 year old man but. I knew that. I dont think everything was legal. Not all are no birds ever are history as a group as it exists today essentially started in interest off my pure luck or drama love being. In the summer of 1946 in dust off became a center for jewish children alone sophia and youngish packed their bags together with the other non jewish children and those who did not want to emigrate to palestine they moved to a new center near prien. South of munich. Was still in charge of interest off but was limited to Logistical Support in collaboration with international do wish associations teachers madly heem from palestine took over education. The a turn group became like a new family for the survivors with shared ideals and goals but palestine was currently still under british mandate immigration was illegal and difficult while they waited to live in dust off the youngsters prepared for the big journey. Rise and finally the day came to set off for israel its actually a lot there its. A new another a channel i mean the group from in their stores were spread across 2 large groups. The fear the hurtle exodus 947. 00. 0 yeah i mean the trip from indus doff to israel was top secret. Go via want done no limit we were taken to a large warehouse in the south of france. For 4500 jews got there to go to israel by ship. The exodus was a cruise for 400. 00 passengers. Were sheltered by british ships from the very 1st day. During the day we had a high level of death wish we only went up on deck to get some air in the evening airplanes flew over us at some point we realized that they had discovered us. Our ship was seized and towed to haifa ferry for. Your new old gauche there we were put on prison ships that took us to cyprus. Relax a little bit of friction. After being intercepted by the navy the illegal immigrant ship exodus 947. 00 entered haifa harbor under escort. As the illegal image of our church are no right or demand to the british was always the same. You took us out of israel take us back there. Together with the passengers of the exodus of emily mariam now home young killer and the other members of the a 10 group fell victim to the restrictive british immigration policy they were taken to transit camps in cyprus or sent back to europe their odyssey caused International Outrage only a year later after the founding of the state of israel on may 14th 1948 did they reach their destination together they founded the keyboards where they still live today. The Children Center in dust off finally closed its doors in september 948 around a 1000 children found refuge here for a few weeks or months. That autumn later fischer accompanied a group of young jews to their new life in canada. She continued her social work and helped them to integrate the children she helped all her life with the only one she would ever have. Hunting for the next deal searching for the newest twin.
