Lilo: Suddenly, the Nazis were everywhere.

They were like an army in the streets.

[People shouting "Sieg Heil!"]

They took over everything.

[People chanting in German] Lilo: Faster than you get used to one thing, something else happened.

♪ When we went to get married and we went into the office, there were two Nazis, one on either side, saying, "Heil Hitler."

So, we had to be married saying, "Heil Hitler."

Fred really frightened me.

He kept going out on his bicycle, distributing anti-Nazi papers and talking to people on the street.

He could have been arrested at any time.

I was so angry at him for putting his life in jeopardy.

Fred: Then, in June, I was thrown out of the court for the crime of being Jewish.

The Nazi commissar called me before him and dismissed me from my court service and barred me from entering the research library for "racial and political" reasons.

We had a letter from our friend Herbert Zucker in Paris.

He urged us that we should disappear as fast as possible, but we were reluctant to leave our families alone.

Then came a threat we could not ignore.

One night, my employer's son knocked on my door.

He told me that the Gestapo were asking questions about me.

A co-worker had already been imprisoned.

We had to leave and in a hurry.

Lilo: We packed, went to the station, and said we were going on a honeymoon trip with only small suitcases.

[Whistle blows] [Steam hissing] As night approached, the train left.

[Bell clanging] [Train whistle blows] It was a very painful departure.

[Engine puffing]
