Quotes
There was no more triumph for me than to find the way home.
I froze in front of the picture, as if enchanted. After all, my grandmother saw this. She was there that day, lay among this dirt, ugliness and inhuman fear. It is impossible to forget. The rage, which I already felt once, returned with a taste of bile in the throat.
How to convey this feeling when you are simultaneously alive and erased from the face of the earth? Born alive and dead? Part of my soul was erased. Will I be able to heal this wound of my family? How will I tell my son about it?
We walked along his bourgeois, bohemian district of the former Eastern Berlin, stood a sunny day, and he pointed to me at a young couple. I turned to look: military boots, biker clothes with gaps, piercing, tattoos. I had met such guys on the streets of San Francisco or New Orleans. I would never have thought that they were Nazis.
