First, we could no longer withdraw our money from the banks. Next, we could no longer own radios or go to movie theaters. Then, Jews could no longer teach in Polish schools. (And thus began my own exile from the life that I had known before.) We had to declare our property. We could no longer travel by train. Synagogues were closed. We could no longer mail letters abroad. We could no longer visit the parks. We could not sit on public benches. We could not see Polish doctors. We could ride only special Jewish trolleys. We could no longer employ Polish maids.
