My childhood, I would say, was a bit sad.

The early years of my life were very, very traumatic. It was scary, because any child knew that death was sort of lurking around Europe as far as Jews were concerned.

I didn't have a happy childhood.

I came to a happy Jewish family in dark days in Europe.

My childhood, I would say, was a bit sad. Society resents that.

It was a fairly happy childhood. My father was working away, and my mum brought up five kids all on her own.
