A few days later I was put on the train to join my parents in Vienna. Although I had always enjoyed Vienna when my parents used to take me, I was frightened and disheartened to see the swastikas everywhere: flags on buildings, in the streets, and on Nazi pins worn by men and women. What had happened to the cultured, sophisticated Austrians? They turned out to be more reactionary and fanatic than the Germans!

My parents had rented a room in the apartment of another Jewish family. It was near where my mother's youngest sister, Franzi, lived with her husband and her daughter Uti, whom I loved dearly.

I woke up crying out every night.
