and i work at. this is v.w. news live from the germany cd has a new leader a close 2nd round vote members truce. to take over the ranks of bank of america's party with national elections ahead this year this makes him the front from to be the party's candidate also coming up india launches the biggest vaccination program the world has ever seen government hopes to give and he could be jack to

$300000000.00 people in just 6 months comes the global cost $2000000.00 with inoculation looking like the only way out of the class. a math anyhow welcome to the show germany's governing c.d.u. party has chosen in lash it has its new party leader party members elected last ship in an online convention bidding conservative. in a runoff is now in a strong position to become the christian conservatives candidate in general elections held light of this year 59 year old nats and another rival rival. to the top spot russia is state premier of north rhine-westphalia germany's most populous state he is considered a moderate and has vowed to continue chancellor angela merkel quality of keeping the city utah. in the political center i should replace as i think. the party

leadership from mexico in 2018. all right let's bring in our chief political editor. who is covering the convention for us me last night will be the new cd you party leader what does he stand for. he stands for the continuation of what has become a whole mark of german politics in the world creating which is a magical style stability politics he's been under that machall side also throughout the criticism in 2015 over her open arms policy on migration that also a lot of criticism within her own conservative c.d.u. party camp and that is also something that has become a key issue of in in the security here in germany which if evolution mounts the one who lost in this runoff also addressed directly and it's a clear decision within the party rank and file those $1001.00 delegates from all

the regions that they found what is so become the d.n.a. of the conservative c.d.u. in germany which is the magical centrist course. so how decisive was the vote in so far as doesn't give a shit the mandate to shape the direction of the party. absolutely gives him the mandates to say the direction although the task will be to include those and it was a significant count within the c.d.u. who wanted a change of direction and wanted it more conservative course as well while getting more modern at the same time let's just have a listen to what he himself had to say just after winning this election. rhonda known for and joining us from home to cast our votes today. so i want to thank you for all the great trust you have placed in me. i am aware of the responsibility that this position entail. and i intend to do

everything was in my power to ensure that i get through this year together and that together we were very well in the state elections only weeks away and in the national elections too. that we can show once again that the new chancellor comes from our ranks. that they would have political editor macculloch of them are still with us what do you make of this opening statement well it's interesting that he said to make sure that the chancellor comes from all ranks he didn't put himself down as the one who deftly has to be on the ticket come september when germany faces general elections and the question who will follow on the machall as chancellor from whichever party will finally be answered he also stressed when he applied that he didn't want to be a c e o style leader he wanted to be a captain of the team and that leaves

a significant base of room for maneuver when it comes to answering the question whose name will be put on the ticket by the c.d.u. and whether it might be his running mate in these election to become party leader yet spawn the health minister he's very popular all marco the state permit of variant leader of the c.s.u. conservative sister party who currently and i stress currently because we're in the middle of a very volatile political situation and the pandemic is riding sky high in those opinion polls there's a lot to play out before september but what will now be the main task of arming russia in the run up to the elections. well i mean last it will have to prove what leadership style means whether he can 1st of all integrate those and there were a lot of people backing fried fish mats in particular who were fed up with the party being shifted more and more into the middle who wanted to see

a much more hardline conservative course he has to bring those on board and that will be no easy task we sold out already when the deputy passages were elected where young spawn his running mate became lost in those polls although of course making into office anything else would have been a slap in the face of the new leader. so he has quite a bit of integration to do that and then he has to work on the fresh outlook of the c.d.u. in those post-marital years it will be conserving what secured those election victories while proving that the c.d.u. can not just deliver stability but also an element of renewal to dermody i'm unless it is the new party leader but context is important important germany has general elections in september but just to clarify that russia may not replace merkel as chancellor just explain that force well he simply isn't delivering in the current polls here and in all the public polling that was done he was seen as a significant leader but he just simply isn't popular he's not seen as the one who

would immediately be able to take over from that very high popularity that angela merkel enjoys to put it bluntly in the past there were quite a lot of people who only voted c.d.u. because they had angela merkel now he needs to prove that a lot of people will also vote for the c.d.u. because i'm in last it is there and 2 way too many people still are mean who so that will be tough because. at the conference thank you so much again let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world. rescue efforts are ongoing in indonesia after friday's earthquake and of the ways people are still feared trapped in the rubble of dozens of houses knocked down by the powerful tremors more than 40 people have been killed and 600 injured. opposition leader bobby one and a group of journalists covering the ugandan presidential election site that were forced to flee from soldiers posted to the candidates compound in the capital

11th on t.w. . it was nice for me my didn't know much about him it was just that he could play the violin really well. i know he lived his grandmother's house on the cool small town . and i also found out he was in an orphanage some time before that as well for him looking from the vice and also the business. villein made it completely normal impression there didn't seem to be anything unusual to begin with i never thought there was something different about him.

it was to shorten the said thought though i knew his father was a vietnamese soldier in the french army of the rhine that i didn't know but i just accepted it it was what it was you know so he was an illegitimate child they were a few of those ups i knew from they always said he suspected something of course because sterilizations were always carried out under the semblance of some sort of examination when you know for a good moment. doodle bleak i know but he never said a thing about it. as you neema as long as i knew him i didn't know. if you can do was the easter snitched i can still see him beaming with joy and holding his call up papers i'm being drafted for you and then he did it if you're more you can see from the pictures that he dead but only for 14 days after he finished training

them which he was dad. not always with no offensive talk about diet thought. it was born in 1923 in always kishan he died serving in the german army somewhere in northern italy in 1944 there's not much left of him except for a few fighting memories a handful of photographs and some dr vital statistics that was no accident the german state had decided that people like villi bad would not be allowed to reproduce he and any memories of him was supposed to disappear along with him the same applied to others who shared his fate he was forcibly sterilized in the summer of 1937 before he had even turned 14 village he was one of several 100 children who had a german mother and a father who was a soldier from the french colonies. the

whole world collapsed in november 1918 prussia's miten glory were no more it was all over for kaiser god and fatherland after 4 years of slaughter 10000000 soldiers lay dead on the battlefields and as many people died on the home front as well both in europe and beyond. the moment of the victors had come on june 28th 1919 the allies received a small delegation of diplomats from germany the represented. civs of the german government signed an accord under protest because it was largely imposed without any input from them. in particular the french government led by george clooney also remain staunchly unbending never again was germany to pose a threat to france. the treaty put all german territory west of the

rhine under allied occupation for 15 years. allied forces moved into the area stretching along the river from the city of calle to cologne in january 920 of the 100000 troops in the french army of occupation more than a 5th of came from the french colonies algeria morocco tunisia senegal madagascar or vietnam german troops had encountered them on the battlefield and in the trenches a very. horror stories about the african soldiers savagery made the rounds on the home front as a result the germans were awaiting their french occupiers with no little trepidation jury in these days many germans saw people of color for the 1st time in their lives let me take issue with you doing well. until just before world war one there was no question of deploying black soldiers in europe then an officer named

shall march on wrote a successful and controversial book in 1010 called life force the black force where he said the senate believes rifleman are good soldiers they've proven themselves in africa why should we deploy them in a war in france it was clear that france was afraid of germany in 1914 germany was a stable rich powerful country with a population of $65000000.00 and there were only $39000000.00 french to stand against them it was a foregone conclusion that the relationship was completely lopsided and that france was doomed to defeat militarily so they needed to find soldiers and shalamar job propose that they rely on an immense reservoir of african troops also. is one of the got. one and kiki another propagandist for during the war they were already publishing propaganda warning that the french colonial troops would cut off the ears of german soldiers and wear them on strings around their necks that they were barbaric and acted like animals and were being ordered to do so by their

french the period. stories like this and all these fears were already being whipped up anyway now their focus was simply redirected onto these colonial troops in the rhineland island and then of course there was also deep seated racism that wasn't just confined to the germans the idea that troops from north africa senegal and vietnam were now in a position of power over the german civilian population well that was a reversal of the established colonial hierarchy wasn't it that these colonial subjects could now exercise authority over europeans who had once been colonial masters themselves but was perceived as extremely humiliation. in the. v.m. to cation of kaiser vilhelm the 2nd whom the conservatives revered as a symbol of national identification on november 9918 merely compounded the sense of

crisis. philip chinaman one of the social democrats leaders rushed to declare the end of the old order. but the fledgling republic was in danger from. the outset because what was old and rotten hadn't really disappeared in fact quite the contrary the guardians of the old order became the fellows of the new democracy they rejected the idea of the weimar republic and above all repudiated what they called the shameful versailles

treaty and those who in their opinion were responsible for it the german social democrats who signed it. in mansion 1920 general votto fun little bits led the army in an unsuccessful push to overthrow the democratically elected government of chancellor gustav power. in response french troops and then occupied cities east of the rhine as well moroccan regiments marched into frankfurt a mine on april 6th 1920 there were clashes with demonstrators and the moroccans opened fire killing 9 people and wounding many more the incident in frankfurt was exploited as a welcome opportunity to ignite the smoldering german rage against the french occupiers. from spring 1920 on woods nationalists revulsion and racists used every available means of propaganda and disinform ation

to orchestrate a campaign against what they dubbed black shame none of the slogans or images used back then could be called innocent the toxins viewed in this campaign continue to poison our lives until today all delusions in new guises that eat into the heart of our society it started out with fake news reports like this. at around 4 pm on sunday december 7th 1900 a colored french colonial soldier attacked 16 year old factory worker gatorade am from corrosion as she was crossing the dylan oyster shell railway line on her way home. the soldier grabbed the frightened girl by her hands threw her in the ditch and held her mouth closed to prevent her screaming. when i thought back he bit my finger and wouldn't let go. he peered into the flesh right down to the bone sucking the blood out so that it ran down from his mouth.

in the spring of 1920 it seemed as if overnight an army of african rapists and paedophiles that set out to systematically defile and dishonor german women girls and boys. the outrage over the allegedly barbaric conduct of the french colonial troops on german soil boiled over into bizarre and festering images. of the world here we can see an african with deformed lips who almost looks like an ape beneath a french helmet and when you turn the coin over you see a german woman found to a martyr stake at the shrine that is the erect penis of a black man topped by a military helmet these were the sexual obsessions of the black shame campaign this piece is a typical example of black chain propaganda which was very wide ranging we can't imagine how powerful based propaganda was today but enormous amounts of money were

invested in it brochures were translated from english swedish french spanish and american english and so on there were postcards illustrations posters medallions and. even made films about it if you move the sword to lose your citizenship. then via videophone. company when we consider the role of the. women and women's bodies in this campaign and it's important to understand that most women who are not really victims of men black men who were colonial soldiers are but the promoters of the campaign in many cases men consciously stylised them into victims beyond vice white european men needed this spawn they were the authors of brochures

the writers of novellas and books who subjected women to their own male fantasies a violent brutal bestie all sexual compulsion i mean my decision 6 will intervene most it's not just money those weren't the lusts of these black soldiers they were the violent sexual fantasies and the men who made up these stories one minute. because she was. of course some colonial soldiers did carry out isolated attacks but these are cells that nothing to do with skin color nor were they a problem confined to the colonial troops but it was depicted that way up as would obviously. the shiny europeans already had the concept of black shame in their minds before the 1st colonial soldiers ever set foot in the rhineland the idea that black men are

a threat to white women that their sex drive a stronger that they're unable to control their desires and that they come from primitive races those ideas were already widespread. the protests against the presence of colonial troops on german soil didn't just come from nationalistic or racist circles. high ranking politicians supported the opposition to be a can as new fresh green bytecode poor will try can console decent ones off good song and schwartz busy trying conquering fuel fabrication. i'm going to focus on doors to conquer. under the smear justify vendôme far bigger top need us to. focus on from their who own guys on votes after him but boy on their own linda and her own father under fire let's on the execs or or perish right see believe that's your least of our noite in the very often.

rice president. as well d. company acoa you can view this campaign from 2 perspectives one is a propaganda campaign directed by the state that is the attempt to overturn the conditions of the versailles peace and that influenced the setting of further post-war conditions. it was aiming to reestablish international solidarity with germany germany wasn't in the league of nations at this point is that on the one hand would be a classical political historical standpoint but on the other hand the question is why this campaign spread and appeal to so many other people declare war time defeat was viewed as a failure of the military leadership and the monarchy but also a failure of german soldiers although this was not recognized open late these are the black shame campaign didn't want to admit that campania. done so the blame for

the defeat was projected onto the participation of african soldiers and it's a classic case of transmission if you wish when a class of toggled sit on. the leaders of the campaign wanted to publicize reports of mass rapes of german women internationally a few days after the clashes in frankfurt in april 1920 an article appeared in england denouncing the presence of french colonial troops on german soil. the author of the article was the english journalist and labor member of parliament edmund deane mirelle. morrell felt website in decent teco in his article more condemning the french occupation on the rhine and its use of black troops. which he described as a horror a terrible situation what's your and he was already in contact with german

officials and was getting information from that office. went ahead in 4 months or. as far as influencing british public opinion about the occupation of the rhineland using black soldiers is concerned a number of english politicians and journalists staying in berlin in the last few months have been granted access to a large number of documents pertaining to the conduct of black troops in the occupied region mirelle has used the material he was given to publish a brochure of the horror on the rhine which he has written to great effect it was quite apparent that the horror on the rhine awoke feelings of physical and psychological discussed and everyone. does also i think i'm the foreign ministry was always behind the scenes inviting

visitors from abroad to come to the rhine land and then go back home and report how horrible things were there before by the thing as 15. among the foreigners the german government recruited to support the campaign was re beverage from the united states beverage was raised in the white american upper class she became one of the most aggressive agitate his spreading the tales of so-called black shame. have the men leading our countries lost their minds they are blind be throwing our white race our white women into the abyss i appeal to all of the world's women i peel to all men still worthy of the name. help white women white girls and white boys are in danger every day and every hour and this threat will continue as long as a black man is entitled to exercise power over whites in america they hanged each and every black man who molests a white woman these are these racist ideas were widely shared in common as they

came from the centers of international and european science and research people went to conferences swedish german italian french and british scientists met at congresses to discuss these issues and the european population were aware of the importance of being white and stain white design vice to blight. yet the nationalists revulsion and racists were unable to prevent one thing after the war people along the rhine found love. the men came from africa the philippines and vietnam the women from germany.

between 19191928 several 100 children fathered by colonial soldiers were born to german women in the german regions along the rhine the precise number isn't known but it could be anywhere from 402-8000 these children and their mothers and their families were socially ostracized from the start. a senior civil servant wrote. unfortunately some of the female population did not know how to defend their morals or uphold the honor of their position and national dignity they gauge didn't relations with occupation troops and a disgusting way this fraternization was of course not without consequences in many cases. the position france rosenberry go went even

further. should we silently tolerate this fact that instead of the light songs of white beautiful well bred intellectually superior lively young germans on the banks of the rhine we will hear the calling sound of dappled the grey low brow the wide nosed chorus half animal syphilitic mulatto. or when they speak of the latter's asian they are presuming that a lot of women from the rhine region had voluntary relations with colonial. oops and also bore them children and many nationalist propagandists campaigned against what they called white shame so that's a very massage and mystic anti woman version that says it's bad enough that the french have brought these black soldiers into the country now we've also got all these german women with no sense of honor or patriotism lining up on mass to have

sexual relations with these colonial soldiers. d.x. close your the exclusion touched on there of the white woman from the collective of the german nation is of course racist. be forced into the concept is that the german population of the body of the people regenerates from where they have and that anyone involved in racial defilement must be excluded from the body of the german. there is naturally also an assumption that if someone has a darker skin color he or she can't really be german there you see a deep rooted belief that being german means having a specific ethnic identity. so your german if your skin's the right color but what about those who have african or asian fathers but at 1st sight don't look like it for example village from always kishan.

it the impression of him being alien or different and that was basically purely abstractly while he spoke of broad report and dialect so that really like i said nobody annoys kishan you could clearly work out his origins from his speech. if you his language defined him as a long established local and that was always what mattered for us when. the 920 children used to seeing who's afraid of the black man and answer themselves . nobody. but it wasn't the same for adults. these are of the good born bad indeed the afro german children born from these relationships were in a tough position and and the other know they were a reminder of their defeat in the war. on the present tongues they were

a reminder of the french occupation force. and they reminded people of the inability of german men to protect their women from a legit rapists. that means that the authorities already had these children in their sights by the mid 1920. they were perceived as a potential threat and importance here with bargain on one local politician had a radical solution the maturing of half breeds who will soon be capable of reproducing is causing great concern in the fonts so i'm asking you to listen to what's being said at the rhine ministry and the national health authorities to see if we can do something to ensure the race remains pure from colored blood in the occupied territories the privy council dr due to me has indicated that the sterilization of mixed race children could to be carried out in an entirely painless procedure it is clear that such

a procedure would be inadmissible under current law that's the whole conflict and that side of this conflict goes back to before world war one the question was what is the status of legitimate so called mixed race children in the colonies did they inherit their father's german citizenship that the racists naturally didn't want that initially this approach didn't take hold but i think there was a point when the nazis broke through for example and very clearly made citizenship a matter of race for the so-called rhineland bastards it had a huge impact on their lives and. physical safety i feel a couple tired you have to see the modern weimar republic and an obsession with race going hand in hand at the same time josephine baker was well in berlin orleans's with her banana dance in 1926 others in germany were worrying about the purity of the german race some more thorough tease went as far as to consider

forcibly sterilizing the children of the occupation. only a few biographies of occupation children are still known today one of them is about greg or buds who was born at the edge of the eiffel region in 1921 greg old father was an american infantryman stationed in the rhineland not a french colonial soldier he came from the philippines. grego barnes was the son of my eldest aren't who was born in 1906 at the time my cousin was born my aunt who was 14 years old if you think about it or even today that would be rather scandalous. but imagine what it was like in 1921 in a staunch we catholics are scientists where religion was dominant that it was far more shocking. here's.

this is catarina kyra greg was mother this is a miracle i am my mother. she was born in 1914 and i think was about 11 or 12 in this picture and that's an acquirer those were the 3 sisters that's my grandfather yourself. and here we have kind of a eunuch i am my grandmother and this is great on here ok. because of like i said it was a scandal normally it would have meant total ostracism from the village community but it never came to that of. course of my grandfather and our family i mean my grandfather was one of the founders of the social democratic party heir. and he was a really strong individual from the. us and he didn't usually do other people's bidding and also played

a role in the village eventually accepting him off the man in 1927 catarina cairo married petabytes a man shown here. she made sure she got away from my grandfather the minute she legally became an adult the same as the 2 really didn't get a lot of income the talk to mr turton. the family and village community protected greg or as long as they could but they couldn't shield him from all injustice and persecution greg also vive the war and was accepted in the community as an adult but he would never have his own family. adult hitler had personally made sure of that when the national socialist seized power a sea change in german demographic policy brought people like greg or buds under increased scrutiny the nazis relied on concepts of racial anthropology that had emerged a long time before to support their position the father of racial anthropology in

germany was the zoologist and eugenicist and heckle. indeed there's no incident that's groups the end of the 19th century when many publications were looking into the exotic and the wild people visited museum collections to see glass cases full of skeletons and skulls and asked themselves for are we all really one unified human race how do we differ from each other they had already started cataloguing these exhibits and now they began to categorize them in the 1st phillip genetic trees that haykel introduced in the 860000 showed an established categorize ation and hierarchy so the better worse higher or lower that in. who media and the smarts and that became clear when tabular overviews of categories based on data about skulls hair color and structure and eye color were published

for the 1st time they noted the course hair of the papuans or hottentot and rank them at the lower end of the table. then came the mediterranean and the europeans and then later on the caucasians on top and in meditative on and in spit and incur costs you know under. the kaiser vilhelm institute for in 3 g. was founded in berlin darlin in 1927 during the nazi period it became the center for research in eugenics and racial hygiene its director was anthropologist oig and fisher. fischer also became the intellectual father of the draft law that the national socialists aim to use to implement their racial hygiene policies it laid down that anyone posing a threat to the help of the german race should not be permitted to reproduce says the slogan on the sets of you don't know who kisses for this was called the law for the prevention of our spring with hereditary diseases of july 14th 1933 published

by one of the s.s. his favorite publishing houses lay months in $1034.00 it contains the entire legal text and who was responsible for what this inhumane legislation was purely about sterilization and its aim was to legalize am legitimize eugenic your forces massed their allies ation function if you see only cohesion lickety me or you could be me and. exhibitions promoted public acceptance of the new law their aim was to familiarize germans with the idea of racial hygiene. the need for forced sterilizations was even justified economically but fear for the racial purity of the german people was the main issue. surveys were launched in the nazi heartland of turin jia to help set up a comprehensive database of racial biological characteristics covering the entire

population it was the 3rd reich version of big data. at the end of july 19th 33 just a few days after the law for the prevention of offspring with hereditary diseases was passed by both a young anthropologist travelled from berlin to the rhineland. was a member of fisher's staff at the kaiser vilhelm institute the objective of his trip was to gather anthropological data on the so-called rhineland basterds. measured and photographed 33 children ranging from 5 to 11 years of age he had found the children's personal data in earliest studies from the 1920 s. .

photographed and measured almost all of the children without their consent all that of their parents which is why the images have been made unrecognizable here. later published the findings of his examinations in a scientific journal the children's privacy was violated for a 2nd time. you must be nuts to not sort of just what the national socialists did using no shape and hair and eye color that was pseudo science because race is nothing more than a societal construct as it lacks any scientific foundation in the division of humanity into races was and is 1st and foremost a societal and political classification. and if skin color is added as a differentiating characteristic then as present day scientists we must say that

skin color is the poorest characteristic you could use to ascertain races on all of us and fists new research shows that everyone was dark skinned until around a 1000 years ago africa is the cradle of humanity for all peoples africa is for elimination d.v. get a mention the main point of this is that the concept of race should never be used again because there have never been races so many of us and gave them this in constructor these are constructs and it is impossible to create an artificial hierarchy of categories using something. like hair skin and eye color was on the in her need of a richard you didn't value on the zoom to stick behind living in the moment implosion him to get duncan and clark concealer duty darwish trunks lot of fish in the bus time in faster visor hasa to pursue them when you are quite

a very own on polluters who are too stupid on sailboats you can have an officer should i. learn mine comes. in april $937.00 chancellor adult hitler personally gave the secret order to forcibly sterilized the rhineland so-called occupation children a special unit was set up under the nazi secret police the gestapo to carry out the order. it was called special commission number 3. coming soon high special commission number 3 was the body that organized the illegal forced sterilizations that all the documents pertaining to the children in question were made available to special commission 3 in the us and is thus what's interesting is that the children's data were supplied by the state authorities responsible for hereditary issues as part of the information gathering process they

had written to our district commissioners and mayors ahead of time. young greg or bards from plight also fell into the clutches of special commission 3 he was just 16 years old with opium or from them i know the owner already a few fascists here in the community especially in the local police and there was a local propaganda leader who was an absolutely committed nazi i believe they're the ones who reported grego. the widow of the doctor that. should mothers by telling them if you refuse to allow your sons to be sterilized then we're going to have to educate them. that meant a concentration camp the mothers knew well well that meant that. children would be sent to live in a nazi camp in a fort on the most of. us. in june 19th

$37.00 special commission 3 summon to grego and his mother to cologne. to stop o h q cologne after consulting with a senior civil servant mr thorne the next appointment will take place at the protestant hospital cologne via tara on june 3rd at 7 30 am. for wards of the health authorities and duesseldorf where they are usually ordered to appear must be picked up and brought to cologne by car. if contrary to expectations one or more of them fails to appear before the health authorities at the appointed time then the driver will have to collect them. i had to go to cologne to via tal hospital that's what it's called today it's a protestant hospital you know most of the catholic hospitals refused to perform

these operations so they went to cologne and i had in a family that both of them stood on the bridge over the rhine and thought about throwing themselves in their place lifeboats and. they are one of us us hosted was 50 s you cannot emphasize enough what this forced sterilization meant for these under-age children above all it destroyed their future prospects in life. it meant abdominal pain painful scars and persecution that left them traumatized that was all part of the program and the feelings of these children whose owner had been taken who had been told they were a disgrace or that they were only half human that traumatized them for the rest of their lives i'd say. is this oblivious and.

elizabeth hellman wrote about her operation in her book. at 1st i heard the rustling of clothing of people hurrying over. that i felt a dim ceiling light had my eyes i tried but failed to get a clear picture. of what was actually happening fell away again and again and i floated in a fog of nothingness. my body seemed confined. i reached for it carefully. i felt the sack of sand weighing down on me and the pads beneath my niece. all at once i knew what happened you have to undo it i bellowed into the operating room. i was mortally wounded. a 1000 times i had thought how happy i would be if i got pregnant. and what i could wear in order not to give my secret away the nurses words now you can't have

intercourse so repelled by. i've recorded this because there will be nobody left who knows my true story after i die. perhaps it will help someone who had a similar experience maybe i can bring some light into the darkness. young vili bartz never got to tell his own life story but his boyhood friend rudolf miller preserved some of it for us 80 years ago in december 940 rudolf and villi performed in a concert held to mark the day of german family music years ago wrote down his memories of that day. villa

came after me in the concert. although like i said he wasn't a member of the hitler youth club this evening he wore the uniform the brown shirt with the belt and shoulder strap and the black tie he was almost a bit defiant as he entered in the auditorium adjusted the music stand to the correct height and tuned his violin without haste that's his friend was the same age and was already waiting to accompany him on the piano they performed a piece by bach to nod entitled ave maria. didn't seem to be nervous hardly at all the movements of his upper body were smooth and as the piece ended on a long note he looked over to his partner on the piano who nodded in approval of his and forth like a duck then when the audience began to applaud loudly he had 1st looked helplessly to the side and then left in a sudden panic and fled the stage with big rushing steps as if he were running away

from something but fans who had hurried off after him forced him back on stage. only then did really look at the audience and see all the friendly faces and sense the wave of support that was washing over him and soon. yeah. yes it flowed over him like a warm wind. free he took a deep breath with an awkward little movement. if it wasn't until he heard the bravos of some of the girls that the tension drained from him and he felt himself beginning to look forward to a life that offered him more opportunities than he had previously hoped for. and hope to talk to.
