My father's- cousin Arthur had to go to high-school in Campolung, and live=
d there with a the Hanke family, a Volksdeutsche family.
Here is a story from his memoirs:
One of Frau Liesel's best friends lived in Berlin and was married to a form=
er army officer who became a high ranking member of the Nazi party. This ma=
n died in 1937 and therefore, Mrs. Hanke invited her friend to Campolung, t=
o spend a few weeks of mourning with her. The lady arrived by train, after =
a 3 day journey and we all went to pick her up. During the first dinner the=
"friend" took part by making anti-Semitic comments and no one replied. On =
the following day, she once again made all sorts of remarks against the Jew=
s. On that same day, at tea time, the two ladies were looking as if they ha=
d been crying. Naturally, I felt quite bad, but I did not say anything.
That evening the "guest" did not come to dinner. On the third or fourth day=
of the visit, the visitor ordered a car and went to the train station all =
by herself and went back to Berlin!!! Only afterwards did Mrs. Liesel tell =
me that after having made her first anti-Semitic remarks, she had told her=
friend that I was Jewish and that since I was also a guest in their house,=
she requested her to please stop making these comments. The friend did not=
reply. After the second occasion, Mrs. Liesel had told her that everyone i=
s entitled to their own ideas, but that she did not have to be insulting in=
HER home in front of HER guests. Since the friend did not like it and repe=
ated that she said what she felt like saying wherever she felt like it, Mrs=
. Hanke told her that in such case, she could no longer stay in her house a=
nd to go back to Berlin. It was 1937.
The faith of the Hanke's was sad-
Their boy was sent to the east front, never came back, and they lived the r=
est of their life in poverty in Stuttgart.
