We were sent staves from Holland which we made up into barrels. I was a porter, a messenger, I worked in several different parts of a huge warehouse for storing sauerkraut. That was my work. But this work didn't for a moment absorb my thoughts. I just wanted to finish as quickly as I could, or not go to work at all, so that I could paint or draw something, occupy myself with something. It was definitely a way of fending off this reality so that there could exist a different reality. And of course, I was able to attend two years of grammar school, the first and the second year. Grammar school lasted four years so I still had another two to go.
