Quote

I was very much a child of the Cold War.

I grew up in a strongly socialist family. While I was at school, I worked in party politics and with organizations like the Anti-Nazi League. Everywhere I saw it, I fought prejudice.

At the time I belonged to the socialist party, and Hitler came to power.

I went from being an ailing child to a public enemy.

I joined the anti-Fascist struggle with my best friend, who was a Jew.

In the Second World War, I was a little girl. I was evacuated in my country.

I was born in the Second World War during the Nazi invasion of my country.

I was involved in the anti-war movement.

I wasn't a fighting kid or a causing-trouble kid. I was just one of those cheeky, crazy kids running around.
