Nazi Family | 20140907 | 1-memo•com | Berlin taxi driver anecdote “… my grandfather was a nazi…..”
That night last year in Berlin – Sept. 7, 2013 – returning to my hotel by taxi from the Internationales Literaturfestival Berlin ( ilb’13 – at the Haus der Berliner Festspiele) – my around 55 years old Berliner taxi driver told me, he was working only at night for some 20 years now.
Just before he dropped me at my hotel near the Berlin Central Station – after he had silently listened during the ride, to my detailed account of my filming earlier that evening a reportage of the story of Simon Gronowski and Koenraad Tinel at the festival – he finally replied : “I was told only very recently by my father , that my grandfather was a nazi…..” .
