„I had no tears, for nobody.“
 - 
Towards the end of the war the message came
 - 
that mother was dead.
 - 
I don’t know how they got to know about it.
 - 
I was so cold; I did not cry when they told me. Mother would not come back.
 - 
I had no tears; not for the aunt, for nobody.
 - 
I did not cry one single tear for anybody,
 - 
although I was really suffering about not being able to see these people.
 - 
Father had already died in August 1943.
 - 
I had forgotten all about him.
 - 
Whenever someone asked me:
 - 
“Are you sad that your mother won’t come any more?”
 - 
I always answered: “No, I’m not sad.”
 - 
I said that out of defiance and out of furiousness.
 - 
I got so furious when someone asked me about that.
 - 
I either didn’t answer at all or I just coldly said: “No, I’m not sad at all.”
 - 
Although I was very sad, really, that nobody would come back to the house of my birth.
 - 
Two aunts got killed with the partisans,
 - 
my mother and one aunt died in the concentration camp in Ravensbrück.
 - 
Two uncles died in Dachau
