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.

grew up in the United States, associating with the New York City jazz and coffee scene in the 1950s. ". . .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". As a subtitle I’ve chosen “Stepping out of line,” which is a movement my feet can’t seem to avoid making.

Vienna Today

Returning to my birthplace has given me a unique opportunity of writing on Third Reich Revisionism. This topic interlinks with Violence under the Guise of Art like pieces of a puzzle to reveal how the past manifests itself in the present.

Eva Herman, “Talkmistress“, Lauds Days Gone By

Eva Herman, German “talkmistress,” in September 2007 on days gone by:

eva.herman.jpg“There was a dangerous, demented politician who led the German nation on the path to ruin, we’re all aware of that, but there were also positive values such as children, mothers and families and sticking together, and those things were done way with…there were also Autobahns built, and we drive on them.”

Frau Herman, the “positive values,” you refer to, unfortunately did not apply to the mothers of the million-and-a-half children who were murdered in concentration camps. However you are right about the Autobahn, I won’t quibble about that!

Eva Herman Talkmasterin, lobt Anno dazumal, September 2007

…das war ein völlig hochgefährlicher Politiker, der das deutsche Volk ins Verderben geführt hat, das wissen wir alle, aber es ist damals eben auch das, was gut war, und das sind Werte, das sind Kinder, das sind Mütter, das sind Familien, das ist Zusammenhalt - das wurde abgeschafft. Es durfte nichts mehr stehen bleiben…aber es sind auch Autobahnen damals gebaut worden und wir fahren heute drauf.”

Ja Frau Hermann, „es ist damals eben auch das, was gut war”, aber leider konnten die Mütter der ein-und-einhalb Millionen in KZs ermordeten Kinder all diese guten Dinge nicht genießen. Aber betreffend die Autobahnen haben sie vollkommen recht.
