speak, you do so exceedingly well. It is a pleasure to read you.

<br><span class="HcCDpe">----------<br><br></span>From: R. F. Hahn <<a href="mailto:sassisch@yahoo.com" target="_blank">sassisch@yahoo.com</a>><br>Subject: Remembrance<br><br>Thanks for the nice responses, everyone!<br>
<br>I just got off the phone with a dear friend who lives in New York. He's the grandson of Tant Clara's (<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/clara/">http://lowlands-l.net/clara/</a>) "Frau Professor" (<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/clara/fraenkel.html">http://lowlands-l.net/clara/fraenkel.html</a>). Paul (<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/clara/fraenkel-history.html">http://lowlands-l.net/clara/fraenkel-history.html</a>) is a fascinating person as well as an extremely sweet and kind one. His autobiography is finished and ought to be available in print soon. <br>
<br>The Shoa Foundation (under the auspices of Steven Spielberg) included interviews with him in a documentary about former Kindertransport children, and the Kindertransport Association also features him at their website (<a href="http://www.kindertransport.org/memoirs/memoir-kuttner-06.html">http://www.kindertransport.org/memoirs/memoir-kuttner-06.html</a>) with just a few "highlights" of his early life. Imagine this: Adolf Hitler himself had posed with him holding him in his arms for the <i>Wochenschau</i> (weekly cinema news) and just a bit later Paul had to hide from the Gestapo under a pile of potatoes in Hamburg, and at the age of 16 he was transported to relative safety in Britain, saying farewell to his relatives for the last time. <br>
<br>Besides that, Paul once was a Hollywood reporter and has tons of stories about that.<br><br>Paul is the one for whom I wrote the poem about the towel (<a href="http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/hahn_handdook.php">http://lowlands-l.net/gallery/hahn_handdook.php</a>) which is so hard to translate that I haven't managed it so far. However, if you are patient and also wish to learn Low Saxon you can place your cursor (without clicking) on any word or phrase to see English and German glosses appear. <br>
<br>By the way, exhibited in a glass case in the Holocaust Wing (which is just one small part) of Berlin's new Jewish museum (built by the great Daniel Libeskind - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Libeskind">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Libeskind</a>), this simple towel, next to the children's suitcase in which it had been stored without having been touched ... ever ... tells so poignant a story that most press reports about the museum's opening mentioned it as a highlight. <br>
<br>The museum:<br><a href="http://www.juedisches-museum-berlin.de/site/DE/homepage.php">http://www.juedisches-museum-berlin.de/site/DE/homepage.php</a><br><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Museum_Berlin">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Museum_Berlin</a><br>
<br>Regards,<br>Reinhard/Ron<br><br><span class="HcCDpe"><br></span></div><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
