SPIEGEL MARGA "Who will be guilty of looking away"
A great personality tells about her life during the Second World War. An excellent eyewitness wrote their thoughts, feelings and experiences as a memorial down Marga Spiegel. Although she had lost her husband after their child and many relatives, she had frank words with no grudges or anger. Rather, their response - "He looks away, will be guilty of" Because of this, the only thoughts they pronounce I have highest respect for this old lady. She is now 97 years old, survived as a Jew, the Nazis thanks to their courage and some people in the Münsterland, where she still lives, she sets her book "savior of the night" a courageous character of the processing of their lived experience in this autobiographical work unique.
Her only wish was that her unfilmed book "Saviors" should be shown first in Jerusalem, as a sign, if one helps the other by a little courage, and the other as a human being sees no profit motive and reason, just the voice of his heart follows, one can achieve endless for peace and freedom.
also would like this unique older woman as her former supporters to express a thank you they were hiding during the war with their child. There were poignant moments
for me to hear Marga Spiegel, wisdom to sense and absorb their incredible warmth. What they said would like to see if the viewers of her film, go home
Marga Spiegel::
your answer to the question you should always be alert, what happens to the people. They should have a keen eye on what's happening around them. An old proverb says: "Whoever saves one life saves the entire humanity." Especially in our time! I'd be really happy if people would understand the film as a reminder. If they would act against what today happens again anywhere in Germany. Where many see again without intervening.
Marga Spiegel, the aunt of the long-standing chairman of the Central Council of Jews, Paul Spiegel was born in Hesse Oberaula. After graduating from high school in Frankfurt, they began in 1933 to study, but was expelled for their Jewish descent after the first semester of the university. With her husband Siegmund they later moved to Ahlen, 1938, their daughter Karen was born.
persecution by the Nazis
The anti-Semitic hate campaign of the Nazis and the increasing persecution of the Jews brought the family level in more trouble. Marga mirror father was deported to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp, where he died "from internal bleeding" as it was officially called. Marga also mirror themselves and their family, more and more under pressure. 1943 Siegmund Spiegel was called to report to the control of the working papers. As the family feared his deportation, took the mirror to flight.
The circumstances of the flight, the constant living in fear and their heroic rescue Marga Spiegel in her book "savior of the night" section, which appeared first time in 1969. She describes in her report, as have hidden courageous peasants in Münsterland 1943-1945 her husband and she even included her daughter under a false name with him. Thus could the farmers do the seemingly impossible: the entire family for two years to protect and preserve them from deportation and thus risk their own lives without end to be taken.
friendship and humanity
Marga Spiegel moved to the war back in Ahlen and lives - now 97 years old - in Münster. Her daughter Karen lives in the United States. With "In farmers" do the makers of the film and share the family level, but also the people who helped them a cinematic monument. Without playing down the inhumanity of the Third Reich ", the film shows a very warm and conciliatory side of the issue and tells a story about friendship, loyalty and humanity.
