Damn, that means she was born in 1916. How has she perceived the failing of the Weimar Republic and the rising of the Nazis? Did she know any jews who “went missing” were deported after 1933? How did she survive the bombings?
!TRIGGER WARNING!
Was she a victim of soviet war crimes during or after the battle of Berlin?
Not trolling, I would just be genuinely curious. I’m german and I missed the chance to ask my grandpa (born 1925, died before I was interrested in stuff like that), who was in the Wehrmacht on the western front, about how he perceived this and the war itself.
You know what? You’re absolutely right. “Went missing” is 100% the wrong term for this. It actually sounds too soft for what actually happened.
