alive with people and the boat
throbbed with excitement. Al
ready the English coastline winked
at us with multicolored lights and
I watched them entranced with
some newly found friends.
Just before midnight I went
down to the cabin for a wrap.
Frau Doktor Schulze was awake
and violently sick. Automatically
I went to her aid. After all, I am
’ a trained nurse and here was a
sick old woman.
When she felt better, she did
not know how to thank me . . “and
altogether, you have been such a
charming companion, I only wish
I got to know you better. There
is one thing I always meant to ask
you. Why did you leave Czecho^la-
vakia? Were you at all in dang
er?” “Yes, I was,” I answered, “I
was in mortal danger—I am a
Jewess!”
Her shock was genuine. She
started to tremble, her eyes filled
with tears and she cried.
“You a Jewess? You, who have
been so kind to me, knowing all
this time I was a German? How
could you do it? How is it you
don’t hate me?”
Then I sat her down in the chair
and made her comfortable and
then I told her all that had hap
pened to me and to mine. How I
lost my mother and my father and
a beautiful young sister and how
my other sister in Canada has a
tattooed number on her arm and
how the same had happened to
my husband’s family, only there
were no survivors. His people
lived in Poland, quite near the
province where her son had that
promising post . . . How I don’t
hate her because my sorrow was
too great for that and hatred was
useless and degrading and how I
hoped there were people in Ger
many who repented.
“Yes, yes, truly there are,” she
cried, “please do believe it and I
am one of them and will be so
till the end of my days. We were
weak. We should have stood up
like one man and protested but we
were far too cowardly.”
And then she begged my for
giveness in the name of her coun
try and was so distraught that in
the end I had to comfort her. And
so we sat together through the
night until the engines stopped and
tugs started to pull us into the
Port of London. O blessed, blessed
shore!
At daybreak, disembarkation
started. I was getting off in Lon
don. Frau Schulze carried on to
Bremerhaven. She put her arms
around me and kissed me.
"I shall never forget our jour
ney together,” she said. “I am go
ing to stand on deck and wave
this red scarf and if you look
back, you will recognize me by it.”
A little later I stood on firm
ground. High above me a red
scarf fluttered in the breeze. Yes,
there she was and from the safety
of the British harbor she looked
almost pathetic.
