Dismissal from School

Text

“And that particular day we walked to school together two miles. We got to school, got in our seats, and remember I was six years old. The teacher said “Are there any Jews in this class?...Raise your hand.” I raised my hand proudly, and looked around and there was one other person in the class, it was a girl, raised her hand. The teacher said, “You two get your things and go home….Jews are not allowed in public schools in Germany anymore.” I didn’t know what she was talking about, remember I was only six years old, I really didn’t quite understand it” March 1, 1933, Frankfurt Germany
