Political education
-
Something else helped my attitude and that was the year 1929, I think.
-
That was when the book “All quiet on the Western Front “, by Remarque was published.
-
This book was read by the organised youngsters of the union,
-
in the SAJ (socialistic labourer youth) or communistic labourer youth or by the labourer sportsmen.
-
The older ones, who took part in the First World War, had to report at our youth centre evenings:
-
“What was it like in Verdun, or somewhere else?” -
-
Your Experiences! And that strengthened many youngsters in their fight against the fascist danger that appeared over the years.
-
The SA tried to ban the film and did manage.
-
That is something that accompanied me further on in my life;
-
against war and against fascism, too.

Workers sport group "Fichte"
-
1922 I joined the labour sports club ‘Fichte’.
-
And all the following years – we practiced gymnastics twice a week –
-
influenced us there.
-
My sister was in ‘Fichte’, and that was the reason why I joined them, too.
-
I was the only one in my class.
-
There were mainly reactionary teachers there.
-
They did not have anything in mind with ‘Fichte’.
-
Here in ‘Fichte’ I felt comfortable. It was nice for a child to be and to do sports with others.
