My mother stopped considering herself Rumanian in the train that took
her and her family to Antwerpen (1937), where they took the ship to
Buenos Aires, she was nine years old and in the train she met a little
girl that said to her: "let's say that our puppets are Jewish and we
burn them!"
On the other hand some Rumanians helped my family. My grandfather
considered himself Rumanian, but his older brother saw himself as
Austrian. After only one generation we had to move out of Argentina,
another dictature had come. Don't know how long we'll stay here in
France.
