"My mother, a lady of nearly 80 years of age, lived in an old people’s home in A. until the pogroms in Germany. The home was a private Jewish establishment. About 40 to 50 men and women were accommodated. The age of the residents must have been between roughly 70 and 85.
During the night of 11th to 12th November all the residents were awoken at 3 o’clock in the morning with instructions to pack their things and leave the house by 9 o’clock the next day. Those who had relatives in the locality, where few Jews lived, were lodged there or in the nearby vicinity. However, one must regard that accommodation as being very confined as a result of the pogroms. Where the old men and women who had no relatives nearby were accommodated eludes my knowledge."
