European Resistance Archive/European Resistance Archive (ERA)
-
A nationalistic perspective is a belated attempt to distract from the real problems we had at that time.
-
Post-war times, memorial policies, “traitors”
-
The main Nazis, they hid away.
-
Back then, when the partisans were there.
-
Some of them came back out of their holes the end of May
-
and for a while they were like the Stasi (secret police of East Germany).
-
Again, as time went on they showed themselves as Nazis.
-
They believed us to be the betrayers.
-
Even today the word ‘betrayer’ or ‘betrayer of freedom’ sticks to us.
-
How can an Austrian or authority say ‘betrayer’?
-
In those days when the roll call came: “Let’s go against fascism, for Austria” – where were the people?
-
In Stalingrad, did they fight for Austria?
-
The ways are so different and we will never agree about what happened.
-
We celebrate the big party and the others are the losers.
-
For the ones who were members of the German ‘Wehrmacht’,
-
the governor and authorities always lay down wreaths on All Saint’s Day.
-
But never in front of a partisan’s grave.
-
There are 53 monuments and graves of the partisans in Carinthia.
-
Nobody ever put a wreath down – nobody, officially.
-
And there were 50.000 deserters who were shot in Germany.
