Counting sheep didn’t help. But this helped. Even now I think, oh well, I close my eyes, lay down and how a globe is turning and I am turning with it. I fall asleep. Edward R. Poland 54 rcsnc Be-ha‘alotekha Starting Over I n August of ’46, I was already pregnant with my first child. I was 17 at the time, and this was in the American zone, so we were able to take a train to a place called Kaltersee. We came in there, a DP camp, and talked to a woman who was working for UNRWA (United Nations Relief Works Agency), and we started to cry.

Later on, I find out that my brother on our side went over on the other side to protect my mother and my sister with the baby. I never knew that I will never see her again. If I would have known, believe me, that I would have gone to the other side, too. After that, I was always together with my sister and my friend. We took the name of Sabul, all three of us, that we should be always together. When we had this little water for washing, for what I was fighting ferociously, and so it was—one day, one wash herself up, the first one, and the second one and the third one, and lower body, one first, and the next day the next one was the first one, and so we were just to each other.

We would do other little things. We would wear a paper clip in our lapel that meant that we stick together. When we saw somebody with a paper clip in his lapel, we were sure that he was on our side. It became so annoying to the Germans and to the Nazis that they sent out a decree and said subject to imprisonment is he who wears a paper clip in his lapel and we thought that we had accomplished something by having this one law being passed.
