Annette Eick: Self

Quotes

I was surprised I had to get used to it. And funnily enough, I saw one woman which looked a little bit like Marlene Dietrich. I don't know. Anyway, I wanted to get to know her; but, she didn't care for me, of course. I was a silly little girl. But, she is the one I saw occasionally later on who saved my life.

• Annette Eick : We call it the Yom Kippur Jews. They were not very religious, my family. But, we did hold the holy holidays. That's why we call ourselves the Yom Kippur Jews.
