Saved from the Nazis when her mother pushed her through a hedge, Anne spent the war as a 'hidden child'. Powerful report on Holocaust Memorial Day by BethAbbitMEN
That vivid, abstract moment is Anne Super’s first memory.
The moment is imprinted in her mind. She remembers seeing lots of other people with suitcases and Germans with guns. But in truth, Anne was far too young to understand what was happening. "So I don’t blame her one bit for wanting to get rid of me. Having food at all was nothing short of miraculous in those days.”
Her aunt - who worked in a jam factory but was a Classics teacher - knew a pupil whose father worked on the railways and had a travel pass. She vividly remembers that time, at the age of around eight, being tied to a bed each afternoon in the busy hospital.“There was this sanatorium in which we were housed and there was another up the mountain and if you went there you didn’t come out alive. We knew that.“They were so busy and there were so many children dying left right and centre. It was a horrendous place.”
“I saw girls with bows in their hair, I saw bananas for the first time - all sorts of things. And we went to the Louvre every morning. It was magical.” “There was not a moment’s doubt in his mind that I would make the perfect wife, who would make him the perfect children and we would have the perfect life. And we did. And I miss him,” she says.
