Ilizwe labazali bam lasemhlabeni laliyiMasuria, ilizwe “lamahlathi amnyama namachibi anqabileyo” kwindawo eyayisakuba yiMpuma yePrussia. Utata wethu wazalelwa apho ngoJulayi 3, 1903. Wayengumntwana wesithathu kwintsapho kwaye wanikwa igama elithi Otto. Umama wakhe wasweleka xa wayengekafiki kwiminyaka emibini ubudala. Uyise ngoku ongumhlolokazi, uKarl Bodem, kamva watshata udade womfazi wakhe, owasweleka esemncinane. Igama lakhe yayinguHenriette Brand kwaye waba ngumhlohli ka-Otto omncinci kwaye kamva umakhulu wethu, umfazi onomdla!

Usapho lwamafama ahlukeneyo

Akaphelelanga nje ekwazini umsebenzi wasefama kwiphondo lakowabo, wayesele ekhonze "abakhulu" kwinqanaba lehlabathi: eBerlin, eParis naseLondon. Wayeluncedo olukhulu kumyeni wakhe yaye esongezelela kakuhle. Utatomkhulu uKarl wayeqhele ukusebenza nzima, kodwa wayesoloko ebathemba xa eqhubana nabantu. Umakhulu uHenriette wamncedisa ukuthenga umhlaba okanye ukuthengisa imfuyo ukuze angaqhathwa ngabarhwebi abakrelekrele. Ngokukhuthala kunye nokonga, usapho lwakwazi ukufumana ifama yalo eMasurian Erlental, kwisithili saseTreuburg (ngokwembali iOlschöwen, namhlanje iOlszewo) - amagama amakhulu!

Imvelaphi yonqulo

Usapho lakwaBodem lwalungenamdla kuphela kwinkqubela-phambili yabo yobuqu kunye nezoqoqosho, babuza nangentsingiselo yobomi. Njengabavangeli basemazweni, bafunda iBhayibhile yaye babengathanda ukuqonda ezinye izinto bhetele. Izinto ezininzi zaye zacaca ngakumbi kubo “ngeentetho zikawonke-wonke” ezaziqhutywa yiCawa yama-Adventist. Ngoko bagqiba kwelokuba balandele ukukhanya okwakubakhanyisela endleleni yabo (Iindumiso 119,105:XNUMX). Phakathi kwezinye izinto, utatomkhulu wayeka ukutshaya waza wavuma ukubizwa ukuba alandele uYesu ngokobuqu. Ekunye nomfazi wakhe noonyana babo ababini uFriedrich (Fritz) notata uOtto, babhaptizwa ngokuntywiliselwa emanzini, belandela umzekelo woMsindisi wethu. Unyana wesithathu uWilli akazange alandele le ndlela. Waba lijoni ngokuzithandela kwaye ngelishwa wafa emva nje kokuqhambuka kwemfazwe kwi-Eastern Front.

Okokuqala Ukubaleka

Ekuqaleni kweMfazwe yeHlabathi yokuQala, usapho lakwaBodem kunye nabanye abaninzi kwafuneka balishiye i-East Prussia ixesha elifutshane. Indlela yabo yokusaba yakhokelela entshona ePomerania, kodwa kungekudala babuyela ekhaya. Emva kokuphela kwemfazwe, unyana omkhulu uFriedrich wazuza ilifa lefama eneehektare ezingamashumi alithoba eefama, oko kukuthi iihektare ezingama-22,5. Ubawo uOtto, njengonyana omncinane, wafudukela kwintsapho yaseSchönhofen kwakweso sithili. Umenzi wezihlangu kunye nomfama u-Otto Jopp babehlala apho kunye nenkosikazi yakhe uJohanna. Babenabantwana abahlanu. Abathathu babesele betshatile. Amantombazana amabini amancinane, uHelene noHerta, ayesesekhaya. U-Otto Bodem wathatha ifama kumkhwe wakhe wexesha elizayo kwaye "uLenchen« waba liqabane lakhe.

iinkumbulo zobuntwana

NgoMeyi 9, 1928, umtshato wabazali bam wasikelelwa kwaza kwabhiyozelwa umtshato. Babenabantwana abathathu: uGünter ngowe-1929, uGerhard ngowe-1931 noHanna ngowe-1934. Mna nodade wethu uHanna asizange sifumane ithuba lokumazi umzalwana wethu, ekubeni wafa kwiiveki nje ezimbalwa emva kokuzalwa kwakhe. Ukugula nosizi zazingene kwintsapho yakowethu kwasebuncinaneni. Iminyaka yethu yokuqala siphila nezalamane nabantwana bazo mhlawumbi yayiyeyona nto singazikhathazi ngayo.

Ingoma ethi "Kwimihlaba emihle kakhulu" yayifanele ipropati yethu, eyayijikelezwe ngamadlelo, amasimi kunye nokuhamba kancinci ngamahlathi e-fir. Iipropati ezisebumelwaneni bezikude kancinane kwaye kuthathe phantse iyure ukuhamba ukuya kumbindi wedolophu. Savuya kakhulu xa sangena edolophini ngenqwelo yasentwasahlobo epeyintwe ngokuqaqambileyo. Ebusika, amahashe ayetsala isileyi, yaye iintsimbi ezikwiipuli zawo zazihambisana nomculo. Iplastiki yayingaziwa. Kwakukho inqwaba eyenziwe ngamaplanga: iinqwelo ezinkulu nezincinci, iishedi, iindlwana, iingcingo zocingo kunye nezihlangu. Iislippers zomthi zazinxitywa ehlotyeni kunye neeclogs ebusika. Umakhulu wayezihoye iinyawo ezishushu ngeekawusi zoboya begusha azilukileyo ngokwakhe.

Sasiphila ubomi obulula kodwa sisempilweni yaye sonwabile, sichitha ixesha elininzi ngaphandle, ingakumbi kwihlathi elikufutshane. Kodwa kwakunomdla naseyadini, esitalini kwaye ngakumbi kwishedi yezixhobo.

Utata wethu watyala imithi yeziqhamo kuba njengomntu otya imifuno uyathanda ukuba neziqhamo ezininzi. Kodwa asifanele siphinde sivune esinye isiqhamo kuloo mithi. Sasingazi ukuba kungekudala siza kuyishiya indawo esazalelwa kuyo iSchönhofen.

Ukubaleka okwesibini

Sasihlala kufuphi nomda ophakathi kweJamani nePoland. Ekwindla ka-1935, ayizange isebenze kuphela "iMithetho yaseNuremberg«, kodwa abafana abancinci kwimimandla yemida babizelwa kwiiveki ezininzi zoqeqesho ngezixhobo. Yayibizwa ngokuba "yimidlalo yasemkhosini" ngelo xesha. UPapa naye wafumana isaziso esihambelanayo. Sele ngowe-1933 omnye weva ngentetho yentiyo nxamnye namaYuda. Ukuvalwa kweNdibano yamaSabatha naBafundi beBhayibhile abaNquthu kwakhutshwa. Eneeleta zokukhalaza neetelegram ezivela kulo lonke ihlabathi, “amaNgqina kaYehova” acela “inkokeli” ngowe-1934 ukuba iyeke ukutshutshisa amakholwa angoowabo. Njengebutho lasekuhlaleni, abazange bavume ukuya emkhosini kunye nesikhahlelo sikaHitler. AmaSoshiyali eSizwe asabela ngenkohlakalo. Amadoda awayebizelwe emkhosini athatyathwa ngamaGestapo ebusuku yaye ekuqaleni kwakungekho mntu waziyo apho ayesiwe khona. Igama elithi "ukugcinwa kokhuseleko" laye lasetyenziswa. Kamva yaphuma: Babevalelwe kwiinkampu zoxinaniso yaye abaninzi abazange baphume bephila.

Ngenxa yesazela, ubawo wayengakufuni ukuqeqeshelwa izixhobo. Wayekulungele ukunikela ubungqina ngokholo lwakhe phambi kwabasemagunyeni aze amkele imiphumo yoko. Wathetha nabasemzini ngethemba lokufumana ukhuthazo kubo. Kodwa uTatomkhulu uJopp wakhumbula abafana “bamaNgqina kaYehova” ababenyamalele waza wabuza: “Ngaba ndifanele ndinyamekele uLenchen nabantwana abancinane?” Olu vavanyo lutyhila ubuntu bukabani. Abazali bethu babebodwa kuyo, kodwa uYehova wababonisa indlela yokuphuma. Emthandazweni, uTata wakhunjuzwa ngoAnti uEmma, ​​owayefudukele ePomerania nomyeni wakhe. Wenza isigqibo sokuyishiya iMpuma yePrussia aze anikele umva kumdlalo wezomkhosi owawungekho kumbindi weReich. Ngokukhawuleza uzimisele, washiya ifama kwintsapho yaseJopp waza waya ngasentshonalanga kunye nentlawulo ye-2000 Reichsmarks. Kakhulu ngengxelo kabawo. Kodwa into endayikhumbulayo mna yayiluhambo olude olunqumla eMpuma Prussia, ipaseji yasePoland nesiqingatha sePomerania kwiReichsbahn.

Umsebenzi onzima ePomerania

EKahlbruch (namhlanje eKałużna, kwisithili saseOsina) malunga neekhilomitha ezingama-40 kumntla-mpuma weStettin, abazali bathenga ifama enomhlaba oziihektare ezingama-37. Ngokobuntu sasisele siwohlokile. Umhlaba wawukhaphukhaphu (uyisanti), indlu neshedi zazifuna ukulungiswa yaye kwakungekabikho mbane kwisithili sethu. Kodwa njengoko ixesha lalihamba, saqonda ukuba siphila phakathi kwabantu abanobuhlobo, ababambelele kwimithetho yesithethe ababengayithandanga kangako i-“Fuhrer” entsha norhulumente wakhe wovukelo. Sasikwazi ukuphefumla “njengamaxhoba atshutshiswa ngamaNazi.”

Unyaka wokuqala wawunzima kwaye ukrakra kuthi sonke. Sathi nje ukuba sizinze endlwini, saqalisa ukusebenza egadini saza savuna ingca. Phambi kokuba kusile uTata wancamathisela isikali sakhe kwibhayisekile wakhwela ukuya kwithafa elikhulu. Yinto eyaziwayo ukuba kulula ukuyicheba ingca isenombethe. UMama wamlandela xa kanye kugqitywe umsebenzi wasekhitshini nasesitileni. Emva kokuba ifula ifakiwe, i-rye kunye ne-oats kwakufuneka zichetywe, zibotshwe kwizithungu kwaye zibekwe.

Ukusweleka kukamama

Phezu kwawo wonke loo msebenzi, umama wethu wazama ukusinika lonke uthando lwakhe ngexesha elinqabileyo lokuphumla. Kodwa yonke loo nto yayinzima kumzimba wakhe obuthathaka kwaye impilo yakhe yaqhubeka isiba mandundu. Uhlolisiso olucokisekileyo lwavelisa umphumo okhwankqisayo: isifo sephepha semiphunga! UMama kwafuneka aye kwisibhedlele sesithili saseNaugard. Ukunyanyekelwa apho kwashiya okuninzi okunqwenelekayo. AmaYuda kunye “nabazibiza ngokuba bangamaKristu” “baphawulwe” ngelo xesha. Phantse wonke umntu wathetha "ngeJamani enkulu." Kodwa phakathi kwamazwi okugqibela kaMama xa wayesekhukweni lokufa kwakukho lo mbuzo ubalaseleyo: “Uya phi, Jamani?” Ubomi bakhe obufutshane kodwa bokuzincama baphela kuselithuba yaye kubuhlungu kakhulu kuthi sonke ngoSeptemba 24, 1936. Ndandineminyaka emihlanu kuphela ubudala!

Oogqirha bancama ngam

Ngenxa yokosuleleka, kwafuneka ndisiwe kwisibhedlele saseHohenkrug kufuphi naseStettin. Ngoko, ukongezelela kuwo wonke umsebenzi, utata kwafuneka atyelele abantu ababini abagulayo, omnye esemazantsi omnye engasentla. Kodwa mhlawumbi sele kutyelelo lwesibini uTata wazama ukundixelela okwenzekileyo. Ndothuka. Ifanele iqhubeke njani ngaphandle kukamama wethu esimthandayo? UTata ebefuna ukundithuthuzela ngelithi usekho ngakuthi. Wathi akundishiya, intlungu yam yayingachazeki. Abongikazi benza zonke iinzame zokundiphazamisa. Oku kwasebenza ixesha elifutshane kuphela. Impilo yam ibisiya isiba mandundu mihla le. Emva kweenyanga ezintandathu oogqirha bancama. UTata wandifunqula ngengcaciso: "Ukuba umfana wam kufuneka afe, kungcono ukuba sekhaya."
