“It was late at evening, I used to be already asleep, when my mom’s delicate voice woke me up. ‘Dollychen, you need to stand up now. It is not morning but.’ She got here and sat on the mattress with me and so did my father. They stated they needed to depart for 2 weeks, because the Germans wished that, however then they’d come again…. the doorbell instantly rang very loud and lengthy and my father opened the door. Three officers from the Grüne Polizei [Nazi police force] burst in, their boots making a loud noise of clicking and stamping. They shouted all kinds of orders loudly and roughly for everybody to rush up: ‘Schnell, schnell, sonst schiessen wir [(Quick, quick, otherwise we shoot]’. I hid behind Anna and was scared, very scared.”
