“I was apprehensive(忧虑的，担心的) and I was worried because Nazis in black uniforms(穿着黑色制服) were on the platform,” she said. “I was only 12 years old so I think they were frightening … terrifying(令人恐惧的).
“我感到忐忑不安，也很担心，因为站台上站着穿黑色制服的纳粹，”她说。“我当时只有12岁，所以我觉得他们很吓人……令人恐惧。”
“People had been told that there were to be no emotional scenes(情绪化的场面), they didn’t want any emotion shown by anyone. I tried not to cry. It was very difficult. My grandmother … she smiled.”
“人们事先被告知不许出现情绪化的场面，他们不希望任何人流露情感。我尽量不哭。这非常难。我的祖母……她微笑了。”
