A Long Journey Home: Back in Palestine
http://mtiefenbrunner.blogspot.com/2009/06/back-in-palestine.html
A Long Journey Home. Friday, May 8, 2009. 9 Back In Palestine. My earnings were very meagre, as I was still learning, and I was paid according to my output. However, I made ends meet, as I rented a room in a village outside Tel Aviv (Arlozorov in Givatayim), which I shared with another ex-soldier. The back pay, which I received from the Army, for the time I was a prisoner-of-war, helped considerably. So the date was set - 29th May, 1947. Note: Only a member of this blog may post a comment.

A Long Journey Home: World War II
http://mtiefenbrunner.blogspot.com/2009/05/world-war-ii.html
A Long Journey Home. Monday, May 11, 2009. 5 World War II. My salary was a light meal and a little pocket money. Arriving there in February 1940 we were taken by train to the north, where our job was to build a railway line to reach the English Channel, so that British supply could be ensured. This was a far cry from what I had envisaged to help my parents! We boarded two of the last three British ships still waiting for us. Note: Only a member of this blog may post a comment.

A Long Journey Home. Wednesday, May 13, 2009. A LONG JOURNEY HOME. I was born in Wiesbaden, West Germany, on the 18th December 1915, into a very orthodox Jewish family. My parents had moved, three years earlier, in 1912, from Poland to Wiesbaden, where a number of relatives on my mother's side were already well established. Jews have been living in Wiesbaden since the 14th century. It was a relatively small Jewish community. In 1875, the community numbered 900. " Ostjuden. You can imagine bringing up eig...

A Long Journey Home: Deportation
http://mtiefenbrunner.blogspot.com/2009/05/deportation_14.html
A Long Journey Home. Wednesday, May 13, 2009. One evening at the end of October 1938, I returned home from Mainz (where I worked) only to find my younger brother and my two young sisters in our flat crying bitterly. Apparently the police had come to our home and taken my parents to the police station. What had happened? How could I possibly arrive in Belgium within 24 hours? I went to a travel agent, whose manager had been recommended to me. Of course this was 1938, and you could not just buy an air ...

http://mtiefenbrunner.blogspot.com/2009/05/chapter-3-escape.html
A Long Journey Home. Tuesday, May 12, 2009. By that time all other passengers had left, there was no bus or taxi available, and my train to Antwerp was leaving in less than an hour. I once again turned to the officer and asked him how I could get to the station. He told me to wait another few minutes until he finished his duty, and he would then take me personally to the station in his car. I. A cousin, Yoine Licht, the son of Chaim Weisenberg [1]. Suggested that I learn diamond cutting, and he arranged ...

A Long Journey Home: Aliyah
http://mtiefenbrunner.blogspot.com/2009/05/chapter-4-aliyah.html
A Long Journey Home. Tuesday, May 12, 2009. Just at that time it became known to me that the local Revisionist party was organising an illegal transport to Palestine. Here was my chance. I went to the person responsible for all arrangements, and registered with him, to put my name on the waiting list. Within two days I received notice to be ready on the next day to come to the organiser in order to settle payment and receive detailed instructions. When we saw all this, our spirits dropped. We were cr...
