After 1989/90 I have been particularly interested in those moor soldier meetings.
-
I arranged that moor soldiers from Köpenick could give interviews.
-
We have good contact and I have been going there every year.
-
I have been taking part in their meetings: against war and against fascism.
-
This is the conclusion: War is something terrible!
-
It creates horrible conditions - not only for the soldiers but for civilians, as well.
-
You have to turn against fascism and now, as well, the neo-Nazis to be able to prevent similar affairs.

This conclusion did not only arise in recent years.
-
You were already living with this decision in the times you were imprisoned and then afterwards during the war.

The choice of doing what I did
The choice of doing what I did
The choice of doing what I did. -
Yes, our life was very difficult.
-
But we had made a choice. We could have put up our feet and watched TV.

-
On one hand, it was thanks to the way my parents educated me.
-
As soon as I was old enough, they told me what Italian fascism was.
-
Then it was thanks to the teachers in school,
-
especially my last one. I have very fond memories of him.
-
He embedded in us the principles of loyalty, taught us what it meant to be a citizen,
-
to be someone who took on responsibilities and acted in life.
