.The primary task of these investigators was to establish statistics for relief organisations, which wanted to establish the strength of the various refugee groups, in order to prepare re-homing and repatriation.An American woman volunteer who spoke to Greta and Wilma had done the same work at a different camp near Munich but had asked to be transferred because she could not cope with the poor physical conditions of the inmates there; most of them had been in the Dachau concentration camp.The experience had left her scared and haunted by nightmares.On a different level her work had been frustrating because of the naked fear and the lack of cooperation that people in the old camp had displayed towards her and to anyone else who was wearing a uniform.She was grateful for her transfer to a place where the inmates were comparatively unharmed.At the same time, having seen the worst cases near Munich, she lacked pity for the German ‘monsters’ and their petty demands and was less inclined to believe their stories.Greta explained her predicament in as much detail as the woman let her but in the statistics Greta and her friends were noted down as Sudetenlander refugees.The following months saw large groups of Latvians, Ukrainians and Lithuanians joining the compound, all of whom had fled the systematic deportations from Czechoslovakia organised by the Soviets.The newcomers were eventually given their own separate section by the American soldiers and they soon established their own communities with improvised schools and churches.They kept a safe distance from the Germans and they were wary of members from other nations, all of whom they suspected to have been collaborators.Anyone not part of their community was an enemy, including the soldiers feeding them.Now that the place had been divided into opposing sections, the army had the additional task of keeping the peace.The Czech couple Czerny finally moved out of the hut into a different building that was full of Czech speaking refugees.Evka had continued to ignore the couple despite their desperate pleas of their innocence.Her consistency hardened Gregor's own heart, he gave up his plans for the rehabilitation of his character and joined his fellow landsmen, although he had genuine reservations regarding their political past.For a few days the bunks remained empty until a young couple, Freddie and Luise, chose them as their new residence.The boy was Jewish and had worked at the girl's family toy store in Prague before the war.His employers were kind people and when his family was taken to Terezin Luise managed to hide him in their loft, where he survived the entire war.He and Luise fell in love very quickly during his long years in hiding.Luise had felt terribly sorry for him for being confined to the dark and kept him company whenever she could.To make him feel less of a burden, Luise would engage him in conversations and asked him questions about what it meant to be a Jew, what he believed and why so many people hated them so much.He taught her everything he knew about the Jewish faith, its history and rituals, and she was deeply fascinated by the new world he showed her.Her parents had been Catholics but not very religious in their daily lives and when religion became less popular under Hitler, it served them as an excuse to abandon their half-hearted efforts altogether.To meet a man with such strong philosophical and religious convictions and with so much other knowledge impressed her; inspired by his passion she felt strongly attracted to the world of Judaism.It was difficult to understand why the Jews had been persecuted and victimized through the centuries when there was so much wisdom and spiritual goodness in the scriptures.Luise started to think of herself as a Jewess and planned to convert at the first given opportunity.The young couple were proud and provocatively openly Jewish.Thanks to the presence of the Militia, they felt sure of themselves and were not in the least worried about displaying their faith.They got on well with Greta and her group and represented a welcome challenge to the otherwise grim and moody atmosphere of the hut.Freddie, in particular, was a big optimist and felt very hopeful for the future.He assured everyone he knew that not all Germans were bad people or were against the Jews, always arguing that he himself had been saved by ethnic Germans.Luise of course had seen her share of crimes against Jews in Prague and not only regarded her partner's ideas as naïve but she also feared for more anti-Semitism in Germany in the future [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
