from Kindertransport1
by Diane Samuels
Kindertransport describes Evelyn’s life as an adult and as a child before and after being separated from her parents during
World War II. At the beginning of the play, Evelyn’s adult daughter Faith finds letters from Helga, Evelyn’s mother, and asks
Evelyn about their family history. In this excerpt, Evelyn attempts to describe memories from her childhood to Faith and her
foster mother, Lil.
ACT TWO, SCENE ONE
1 EVELYN: Do you still want to know about my childhood, about my origins, about my parents?
2 FAITH: Yes.
3 EVELYN: Well, let me tell you. Let me tell you what little remains in my brain. And if I do, will you leave me alone
afterwards. Will you please leave me alone?
4 FAITH: If that’s what you want.
5 EVELYN: My father was called Werner Schlesinger. My mother was called Helga. They lived in Hamburg. They were
Jews. I was an only child. I think I must have loved them a lot at one time. One forgets what these things feel like.
Other feelings displace the original ones. I remember a huge cone of sweets that I had on my first day at school. There
were a lot of toffees . . .
6 FAITH: What else?
7 LIL: Faith.
8 FAITH: What else do you remember?
9 EVELYN: Books. Rows and rows . . . a whole house built of books and some of them were mine. A storybook filled with
dreadful pictures: a terrifying man with razor eyes, long, long fingernails; hair like rats’ tails2 who could see wherever
you were, whatever you did, no matter how careful you tried to be, who could get in through sealed windows and
closed doors . . .
10 FAITH: Go on.
11 EVELYN: The only other thing is a boy with a squint on the train I came away on. I kept trying not to look at him.
Please believe me, Faith, there is nothing else in my memory from that time. It honestly is blank.
12 FAITH: What happened to your parents?
13 EVELYN: They died.
14 FAITH: In a concentration camp?
15 EVELYN: Yes. In Auschwitz.
16 LIL: When did you find that out?
17 FAITH: When did they die?
18 EVELYN: My father died in 1943. He was gassed soon after arrival.
19 FAITH: What about your mother?
20 EVELYN: My mother . . . she was . . . she was not gassed.

from The Diary of Samuel Pepys

by Samuel Pepys
In this excerpt, the diarist Samuel Pepys describes the first day of the Great Fire of London, which lasted from
September 2–5, 1666. This fire destroyed more churches, houses, and property than any other fire in London’s history.
1 2nd (Lord’s day). Some of our mayds sitting up late last night to get things ready against our feast to-day, Jane
called us up about three in the morning, to tell us of a great fire they saw in the City. So I rose and slipped on my
night-gowne, and went to her window, and thought it to be on the back-side of Marke-lane at the farthest; but, being
unused to such fires as followed, I thought it far enough off; and so went to bed again to sleep.
2 About seven rose again to dress myself, and there looked out at the window and saw the fire not so much as
it was and further off. So to my closett to set things to rights after yesterday’s cleaning. By and by Jane comes and
tells me that she hears that above 300 houses have been burned down to-night by the fire we saw, and that it is
now burning down all Fish-street, by London Bridge. So I made myself ready presently, and walked to the Tower, and
there got up upon one of the high places, Sir J. Robinson’s little son going up with me; and there I did see the houses
at the end of the bridge all on fire, and an infinite great fire on this and the other side the end of the bridge; which,
among other people, did trouble me for poor little Michell and our Sarah on the bridge. So down, with my heart
full of trouble, to the Lieutenant of the Tower, who tells me that it begun this morning in the King’s baker’s house in
Pudding-lane, and that it hath burned St. Magnus’s Church and most part of Fish-street already.
3 So I down to the water-side, and there got a boat and through bridge, and there saw a lamentable fire. Poor
Michell’s house, as far as the Old Swan, already burned that way, and the fire running further, that in a very little time
it got as afar as the Steele-yard, while I was there. Everybody endeavouring to remove their goods, and flinging into
the river or bringing them into lighters that lay off; poor people staying in their houses as long as till the very fire
touched them, and then running into boats, or clambering from one pair of stairs by the water-side to another. . . .
4 Having seen as much as I could now, I away to White Hall by appointment, and there walked to St. James’s Parke,
and there met my wife and Creed and Wood and his wife, and walked to my boat; and there upon the water again,
and to the fire up and down, it still encreasing, and the wind great. So near the fire as we could for smoke; and all
over the Thames, with one’s face in the wind, you were almost burned with a shower of fire-drops. This is very true; so
as houses were burned by these drops and flakes of fire, three or four, nay, five or six houses, one from another. When
we could endure no more upon the water, we to a little ale-house on the Bankside, over against the Three Cranes,
and there staid till it was dark almost, and saw the fire grow; and, as it grew darker, appeared more and more, and
in corners and upon steeples, and between churches and houses, as far as we could see up the hill of the City, in the
most horrid malicious bloody flame, not like the fine flame of an ordinary fire.
