Memoirs
Obiad / Mehr als nur Mittagessen. Mein Jahr in Polen mit Überlebenden des Holocaust
by Biakowski, André
Description
The tour bus stopped and I was there. Lodz, my temporary home. In the middle of Poland. I had one year as a volunteer ahead of me. And then there was this polish language. Tongue twisters. The endless consultation of the dictionary. And one word was my daily companion: Obidad. Without knowing what this word meant in the beginning, it became the title of my year. It opened doors for me and allowed me a view on the German/Polish history through my job with survivors of various ghettos and concentration camps. Facts, like anonymous dates, which I only knew from books, became clear and more concrete with every visiting service. Why is silence the language of pain? Which historic hypothec do I carry as a young person?
To reduce Poland on its history, the holocaust, does not do justice to these beautiful neighbors. I packed my bag, traveled as a volunteer and learned to love this country. I wrote monthly letters about various topics concerning my impressions and encounters to friends and family. Today I know that Obidad means more than just lunch!
