#1 I was not pretty, and my mother did not like me. She did not think I was huggable, and she did not call me beautiful. I was too tall and ungainly. My arms and legs were too long, and I kept upsetting things.

#2 I had passed the examinations and was applying to the Jewish Preparatory School in Budapest. I was excited about the prospect of living in Budapest and meeting my boyfriend, Bubi, after school.

#3 The news that the Germans had invaded Budapest reached us two days late. Two days late. The radio blared, Deutschland über alles, and the country was agog with the news. The city of my dreams, Budapest, had become the anteroom of Auschwitz.
