Hana drew this picture of people getting off a train while she was at Theresienstadt.
At the front of the line, a soldier asked people for their name, age and place of birth. Boys and men were being sent in one direction, girls and women in another. “Where are they going?” Hana asked George. More than anything else, she was afraid of being separated from her brother. “Can I stay with you?” she pleaded.
“Be quiet, Hana!” George told his sister. “Don’t make a fuss.”
When they reached the front of the line, the soldier stared at them. “Where are your parents?” he demanded.
“They are, uh, in another, uh, camp,” George stammered. “We hope that here we might be reunited.”
The soldier wasn’t interested in conversation. He wrote down their names on index cards and searched their suitcases for money and jewellery. Then he slammed the bags shut. “To the left!” he ordered George. “To the right!” he ordered Hana.
“Please can I stay with my brother?” Hana asked.
“Move! Now!” the soldier ordered. What Hana feared most was about to happen. George gave her a quick hug. “Don’t worry,” he said. “I’ll find you as soon as I can.” Holding back tears, Hana picked up her suitcase and followed the other girls to Kinderheim (children’s home) L410, a large barrack for girls that was to be Hana’s home for the next two years.
