   How much they damaged I don't know. As I say, they may just have burned the stuff outside, I wouldn't know that. Because we wouldn't go in. Some weeks later we went back. I don't know what happened then, the synagogue wasn't usable anymore.

   What happened is, my parents shielded us children – I had another sister – and didn't tell us exactly what was going on. But when we got home, my mother told us that my father who was still working for a Jewish firm in those days... His boss had been taken to Dachau. So he said: You – my mother – and the children go and live, stay with his boss' wife. So when they come to look in our house there is nobody there. And my father went to Hochkirchen which is Kreis Düren, where he was born. So, they didn't look for him there. He was gone for about ten days when things settled down and we came back to normal.
