From Holocaust Remembrance: "In 2005, Milein gave an interview to the AJR Refugee Voices Testimony Archive recalling her home and living in Hampstead: 'Home for me is Hampstead and the Heath. Just when I met Hans, I had secured something I had longed for, for years, a little ruin of a little house, it was actually a stable, a donkey stable at the turn of the century almost bang on the Heath in Willow Road. It was raining through the skylights but it was absolutely wonderful. In those days, Hampstead was truly like a little village.'" That cannot be describing the house with the plaque.
