At home there was a girl to look after the children, who spoke English and German.Miss Brandwein.A Jewess from an intellectual but impoverished home. She was a chemist and taught in a gymnasium somewhere, and in the afternoon she was with us. She picked me up from school, and she did our homework with us and taught us languages. Miss Brandwein had her own room and she had a boyfriend. He also taught at a school. I don't know whether they cuddled or kissed, but half the class used to come round to my house and we would look through the key hole at what they were doing in there. We had a maid too, and a cook. One of them lived in the servant's room and the other in the kitchen, and they stuffed themselves like I don't know what. I wrote the younger one love letters to her boyfriend, because she couldn't write; she was from the country.They were there until the war, literally. The cook was even still there when the war had already broken out.
