In the next few days, the Hungarian police raided our houses. Under the new law, Jews were forbidden to keep gold, jewelry, and other valuables in the house. Mom and I hurried to dig holes in the lumberyard to bury our silver and other valuables, as well as our best bedding. I remember being very active in the excavation and concealment process. Mother sewed all the gold we had in our clothes. I remember actively helping Mom hide our possessions and quickly get ready to leave our home.
