These were no good times, in 1945, when I was born. Three weeks after my birth I was given into an orphanage. The survival chances of children in care was 5 percent. In this respect I’ve had bad luck at all. What has changed in the last 65 years in Germany is pleasing a lot – material. Spiritual unfortunately not enough for my taste. A current catastrophe is the increasing non-solidarity of the society , its formal division by the arrogance of neo-conservatism. We are again involved in wars (Afghanistan). I think Germany should not join a war, never, after what had already happened in two world wars. When will they learn?
