'They (機の)カム into the house and they ordered all the men to the 中庭. All the men were lined up and they started 押し進めるing them around with machine guns and kicking them. It was a terribly painful scene.

'She was 削減(する), she had pretty 着せる/賦与するs, and she was always 甘い and nice. Everybody loved her, even the grumpy people fell in love with her,' Klein said.

'This was something that stuck with me. I used that image for my own 生き残り. Whenever people were mean to me I thought I could turn them around and make them like me by 存在 甘い and nice.'

Klein walked the war-torn streets of Budapest, scrounging food and 避難所 and doing her best 寺 impression to charm passing German and Hungarian 国粋主義者/ファシスト党員 兵士s into believing she was a gentile running errands for her mother.

In 1944 some Budapest Jews were still able to 避難所 in '安全な houses' 始める,決める up by Swedish 外交官s.?

Klein managed to find one, and slipped in pretending to be part of another 難民 family.

'Every apartment had so many people they had to throw the furniture into the 中庭 to make room. We all slept on the 床に打ち倒す,' she said.

'When it was 冷淡な they started cutting up the beautiful antique furniture for firewood. People started 株ing the little bit of food they had. We felt 安全な. I thought I was 安全な there.

'They kicked me in the ribs to see if I was dead, and I was dead for them. I was very, very lucky.

'There was 血 all over the place. I just lay there until it was dark and I didn't hear anybody around anymore. It was やめる a moment.'

支援する out on the streets again, the 13-year-old was 選ぶd up by a policeman who said he was hiding Jews in his house.

One of the 居住(者)s tried to moles t her the first night, and the next morning the officer did the same.

The Hungarian winter 勝利,勝つd (機の)カム 権利 through its blown-out windows, and at night she would listen for the whistling of 爆弾s 上陸 all around her.

'I was a bit delirious by then. I hadn't had much food. I 設立する a 捕らえる、獲得する of moldy bread in a cupboard in the kitchen. That was my delicious meal every day,' she said.

Lice 軍隊d her to 削減(する) off the 寺-like pigtails that had helped her charm 兵士s in previous months.

'That's when I would entertain myself with thinking how pretty Shirley 寺 was and how she would dance, and I would hum to myself.
