Remigration

Another topic I have “touched upon” is “remigration.” This word is a neologism, which means coming back to where you have been driven out.I've always said that I wanted a smooth ride, but I couldn't help rocking the boat. Rocking seems to be in my genes.

Remarkable People

On the road I have traveled, I have met many remarkable people. First I name my friend and mentor the late Emile Capouya. “Mike” encouraged me over the years and published two of my books in New York.

Otto Hapsburg Takes a Stand

“Again and again there are shameful discussions concerning Austrians having been accomplices or victims. This makes it imperative for me to say that there is certainly no country in Europe that can more adequately describe itself as a victim than Austria!…When there’s a great commotion somewhere, many people will come to cheer. If you mention the crowd of 60,000 at Heldenplatz * - there are 60,000 fans at every soccer game.”
- Otto Hapsburg, the Austrian Parliament Commemorates the „Anschluss”, March 11, 2008

* “Hero’s Square” is where Hitler spoke after coming to Vienna. An estimated 250,000 attended this “soccer game.”

Otto Habsburg schaltet sich ein

„Wenn es immer wieder blamable Diskussionen darüber gibt, ob die Österreicher
Mitschuldige oder Opfer waren, dann muß ich sagen, daß es keinen Staat in Europa gibt, der mehr Recht hat, sich als Opfer zu bezeichnen!…Wenn irgendwo ein großer Rummel ist, dann kommen viele und jubeln. Wenn man von den 60.000 am Heldenplatz spricht - bei jedem Fußballmatch sind auch 60.000!”

- Otto Habsburg, Parlament gedenkt „Anschluß”, 11. März, 2008
