Sylvia Manning - Baumgartner

1932

At home we had - that is, in the apartment - no water. We had out of the kitchen - there was a window into the garden. The garden was higher. And because the father made a bank, and there was anyway the dining table. There was the window. The bank has gone this far. And since we had to get the water out of the garden. Since one could make up on the bench, and then through the window, bend over, you know. And outside was a fountain. And since we have had a bucket of water - which is standing in the kitchen and there's been washed away. And - in the winter that was problematic, since you had a little outside the water let it run, a little. As thick ice was in it. At that time still had cold winters. Toilet we had in the house and - in the home or none. since it is also at the apartment door, went up a few steps on a pedestal. And the stairs from the platform is further addressed in the first floor up. And so the staircase is gone out into the open, down. And on the page you went into the cellar, and there was the toilet. So, again a podium before, there was the toilet. Open course. And - bathed - that is, in summer, it was not a problem. Since we have out there - Gaißau says, that was then - the Inn at that time was much higher. And there was a lake out there, even running water. Da-da, we have been out there. I was - yes, there have been more able to swim, so - I was not the only one who could not swim there, but wait - there - and in winter it was a tub. There was such a tub, they said. Zuber. This was, say, meager compared to today.
