But we had to move schools; that was quite clear. The first week after the Anschluss, when I went back to school… I immediately assumed my role as prefect next to the teacher. Ignoring signs and whispers from Jewish children in the front row, “Come down. Come down.” I was that stupid. And I waited until the teacher actually said, “Well, I think you can’t be prefect any more. Why don’t you sit there…” or something. So in retrospect, I was astonishingly either innocent or stupid or both – about the whole… Nazi business.
