Child on the Transport

      I left my country on December 2, 1938. My group left to Great Britain, on the Kindertransport. Most of the children on the transport, were sad or depressed. On the other hand I was overly exited to be the transport! I really did not want to stay back home, I wanted to leave. I wanted to leave because of the war in Germany that was going on. I wanted to leave because I did not want to see my family members die one by one, I did not want to experience that. And I didn't  I still wonder what is happening to them.       One day I asked this girl how she felt to be here in Britain. She said "its okay." I asked her hows was you're life in your home country. She said "fine." I started ti get mad at her because she would not tell me how she felt to be there. Then I asked her if she wanted to come on the transport, she said "I really did not want to be in this program because i miss my mother and father . The only reason I am here is because I did not want the Nazis to take me, and I did not want to die in the war." I started to see some connections with why I did want to come also.       I could not just sit at home, and then be murdurd by someone who did not like me for being me. "That's all, Thank You." I said  A half of these kids did not care if their parents die or died. "Thank you." She said and then continued talking go her new friends.       When I walk by people I tell my self …"Did this person leave their parents because they wanted to or because they had to."  I'm just thankful for being on the transport and having this opportunity that some children did not have or take.
