Recollection of the rural environment and its simple living conditions. Description of the inhabitants of the village, including a night watchman who called out the time in the streets. Alice grew up speaking German and French at home. Her mother was a well-educated woman who had lived in Paris for some time. Her father was a business man. The Jewish community in Hochberg was small, but it had its own synagogue. Memories of family Seder celebrations at her grandparents' home. Recollection of her time at the Alexandrina Kindergarten, where Alice was the only Jewish child. Christmas celebrations at nursery school. Birth of her sister. In 1899 Alice Ottenheimer was enrolled in the local primary school. Private Hebrew lessons with the cantor of the nearby city. Summer vacations at her mother's birthplace in Ichenhausen.
