Since Father and Mother had several times refused to sign the Volkslist (a list of people who had or who wanted to obtain German citizenship), they were denied custody of us children.
Kuna ema ja isa olid mitmel korral keeldunud alla kirjutamast Volkslist’ile (nimekiri inimestest, kel oli Saksamaa kodakondsus või kes tahtsid seda saada), võeti neilt seaduslik õigus meid lapsi kasvatada.
