We didn’t go to the theatre, to concerts, we didn’t go to restaurants. We stayed at home, or to the synagogue, or to Jewish events. And for me the reason that I left was I had finished my school education and I had no prospect of getting any job, both as a Jew and as a foreigner. The obvious solution for me was to go to Copenhagen. I didn’t know any Danish, but I learnt it very quickly, and I was able to find a job there.
