The Technical University of Munich* \u2013 In the Shadow of the University \u2013 7<\/p>\n
Interviewer: Max Mannheimer, when were you able for the first time to speak about your experience in the concentration camp?<\/p>\n Mannheimer: In 1964 I lost my second wife to cancer. Soon afterwards, I started to write down everything for my daughter, who was seventeen at the time. In 1985, the head of the Dachau Camp Memorial, Barbara Distel, wrote to me and asked if my manuscript was available for publication. I said that it was, and after that my life suddenly changed. Since that time I\u2019ve been speaking at schools, universities and church events \u2013 not as an accuser \u2013 but simply as a witness to what happened during the Nazi period.<\/strong><\/p>\n (To be continued)<\/p>\n Source: Interview, D.

Bald darauf fing ich an, f\u00fcr meine damals 17-j\u00e4hrige Tochter alles aufzuschreiben. Im Jahr 1985 wurde ich von Barbara Distel, der Leiterin der Gedenkst\u00e4tte Dachau, angeschrieben, ob ich mein Manuskript f\u00fcr die Dachauer Hefte zur Verf\u00fcgung stellen w\u00fcrde. Ich sagte ja, und danach ver\u00e4nderte sich mein Leben schlagartig. Seitdem spreche ich in Schulen, Universit\u00e4ten und kirchlichen Einrichtungen als Zeuge der Zeit – nicht als Ankl\u00e4ger.<\/strong><\/p>\n (Fortsetzung folgt.)<\/p>\n Quelle: Interview, D.
