transcription:
Ilse was taken away - The Honourable Mother took her away - in a car. Later she said to me - I said to her: "Ilse is coming back, isn't she?" She answered, the Mother did: "Ilse is an angel in heaven", so she already knew what would happen to her. ..She said, if they had - when they were told that Ilse had to leave, and they would have refused to comply, the entire colony might have been shut down; there were 200 children there. They didn't dare resist. There was a priest there who blessed her - may he? - she said: "Why not, if he means well." She went with her head held high. I remember that well. We were lying in bed and.. that night was horrible. I knew that Ilse would be leaving the next day. And I just couldn't believe it - I also - I have also gone to a spiritualist -
