The Technical University of Munich* \u2013 Any Germans like This? \u2013 8<\/p>\n
\u201cInterviewer: \u2018You didn\u2019t come from a particularly anti-fascist family, and you were a German citizen in a country occupied by Germany, just like so many other people.\u2019<\/p>\n \u201cBeitz: \u2018It was simply the fact of what I was forced to see going on around me. Perhaps it\u2019s not possible for anyone to understand all that today. In November 1942 I was standing at the train station in Boryslaw, and there were these wagons full of people. The windows were covered with wire, and someone called to me. I made them open the wagon, and I saw one of my former employees there, a young Jewish woman from Berlin. At the end of the 1930s she\u2019d been deported to Poland, and now she was sitting on this train. I managed to get her off, and then she said to me, \u201cMy mother is still inside.\u201d I was able to get her mother off the train too, but then an SS official came and said, \u201cWhat are you doing here?\u201d I answered, \u201cI\u2019m taking my people off this train.\u201d In this case though, in the end, there wasn\u2019t anything I could do\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source:.

Das k\u00f6nnen Sie sich heute gar nicht mehr vorstellen. Ich stand im November 1942 auf dem Bahnhof in Boryslaw, da waren diese Waggons voller Menschen, die Fenster vergittert mit Draht, und es rief jemand immerzu “Herr Direktor! Herr Direktor!” Ich bestand darauf, dass der Waggon ge\u00f6ffnet wurde, und sah eine meiner Mitarbeiterinnen vor mir, eine junge J\u00fcdin aus Berlin. Sie war Ende der drei\u00dfiger Jahre nach Polen abgeschoben worden und sa\u00df nun in diesem Transport. Ich hatte sie schon aus dem Zug herausgeholt, da sagte sie zu mir: “Meine Mutter ist noch da drin.” Ich habe sie auch geholt, aber da kam ein SS-Mann und sagte: “Was machen Sie hier?” Ich habe gesagt: “Ich hole meine Leute aus dem Zug.” Aber in diesem Fall konnte ich nichts machen\u2019.”<\/p>\n (Fortsetzung folgt.)<\/p>\n Quelle: .Joachem K\u00e4ppner, \u201eInterview mit Berthold Beitz,\u201c S\u00fcddeutsche Zeitung, 02.02.2008.<\/p>\n *Die Technische Universit\u00e4t M\u00fcnchen, eine durch die deutsche Regierung anerkannte \u201eElite-Universit\u00e4t\u201c, steht an der 67.
