Gregory's ServerThank you very much for publishing this insight into your very own family history, which touched me deeply. Unfortunately, it takes courage to publish something like this at this time. But I believe that it is a very important building block to preserve these experiences and memories of a completely foreign world of thought of one's own ancestors.
And unfortunately, there is currently a particular problem in Germany with many people (not only) from the current generation of politicians. They are too young to have memories of war, suffering and destruction themselves. Perhaps they have never undertaken their own reflections of this kind in relation to their own family history or have always remained in their own universe.

There is no other explanation for the fact that right-wing ideologues are once again flocking to promises of salvation. At the same time, the parties of the democratic camp (especially the conservative ones) are drifting alarmingly in a direction that no longer has a culture of remembrance and is writing right-wing ideas into its own party programme. Apparently, prosperity and a long period of peace have gone to their heads and are taken for granted.
But these days, in view of the many demonstrations all over our country, I have also realised one thing: They are still in the minority and it is up to all of us to raise the voices of the majority, to position ourselves clearly and to have the courage of our own convictions and stand up for them. Never again - is now - in my eyes, this is especially true for Germany. We have a very special responsibility for each other, for ourselves and for Europe. Let us never forget this!
