Description
I. In the year 1984, Emmy Meixner-Wulker began to write down her experiences during the time of the "Third Reich" in Eppstein, a small town in Hesse. Her father, a worker with no political allegiance, had been sentenced to two and a half years jail for "planning high treason" and, after being arrested again in January 1945, died in Straubing jail. It was not until forty years later, according to Meixner-Wulker, that she became aware that her father's arrest had made a deep impression on her childhood and that "something really important had been broken": a "child's sense of honor." This "loss of honor" accompanied her for a life time, since her father was seen as a Communist in Eppstein from then on. This spitefully meant and perceived view did not change after 1945. At the end of the 1950s, Meixner-Wulker realized that she herself internalized the terms "Jews and Communists" as bad words and, by doing so, had betrayed her father. The "Communist stamp" had burnt its way into her own wealth of experience and an intensive look at her own father's history was necessary in order to overcome this prejudice, which was marked by a specific political ideology and 'culture' (Meixner-Wulker, 1988, p. 130 onwards).
