Florida Wedding Welcome Bags

6 - Planting oaks - the end of the school - with an average grade of 1.78 - jobs at home as a domestic subsidiary - November Pogrom 1938 Bielefeld

In school was a happy Erna Kronshage open, balanced and hard working girl, teaching himself even a "horse race", as she was later known by her former classmate fifty years. Their average grade, the then hardly played a role, was at 1.78 ...

Since 1933, the "Hitler" movement, just as the Nazi Party in power in Berlin as then in Senne II

On the day of "national work" on 1 May 1933, Erna was just the first ten and a half years old, was celebrated in the village Senne II of this new spirit of the NSDAP visible and unanimous. Just on the tip of the so-popularly called "Verl triangle", where the two dirt roads met each other (now Altmühl Verler road and street) Krack back to the station, which was coming from a restaurant Eikelmann and the other from the direction Ramsbrock restaurant, in the courtyard entrance, maybe sixty yards from the mill Kamp, of the Hitler Youth a "Hitler Oak" planted.




All Clubs from Senne II ("but no one was missing") participated in the well-organized parade, reported the chronicler of that time. For completeness, it should be added that those who significantly Hitler had planted this oak, have in 1945 under pressure from the dissident citizens also dug up and away!


















the end of Erna's school in 1937 can be rapid in the three first Community School of Senne Bielefeld II in the district are situations when images of recent social and social developments in society, also present in the school day.

























In Muhlenkamp, where Erna required - and find someone to "Send "needed to Mitanpacken, so we came through the day, thought it not a" training "for Erna, as today is perhaps common for young women. Mama Anna liked from the" little ones ", the" Hauspüngel "do not disconnect - on the one course because of the much-needed help - the sons were all in the Work and service in the armed forces - or uk-/bzw. "CUA" ("Indispensable - To-specific-use") does not also give the "last" / the "Latest" / the "smallest" ... --made - partly from sheer "fear of loss"

The original signature of Erna Kronshage in the "Sütterlin-signature", in the 20's / 30's still in school as "calligraphy" was taught. Only the round-s had already found a compromise ...

While children and young people of different persuasions gathered in their traditional classrooms under their respective banners, bike to the nearest meeting went, or were even with the train to the nearest places go, always with their peers and from the other sex, is had Erna their work and buried in their help on the Muhlenkamp in service to their parents.

your classmates had decided long ago and have adapted and arranged or moved to sulking in the rear corner with the respective competitors. Erna hesitated still be fit to turn to accept a position. In general this was probably their underlying issues, related to its own original position for itself in controversial issues. This required a strong unconditioned self.

Wish You Well Chapter By Chapter Summary

7 - Erna's moral and ethical dilemma - the Doublebinds - and the loneliness within an extended family



can a moral and ethical dilemma formalized be represented as follows:

(i) is commanded to do a,
(ii) There is a need to do b,
(iii) I can not do both a and b.


Translated into the "case" Erna Kronshage meant:
(i) It is necessary for the parents in their vital work alone
( ii) It is necessary to resolve me to be independent, to stand on its own,
(iii) I can not stay with their parents - and also be independent.

The Muhlenkamp was the thirteen-member family Kronshage as a residence and home. It is not difficult to imagine what life here pulsated originally - and still with the school and commuters, which shuts off their bikes were here every day and "guard".
this company as a whole became more aware of Mama Anna and competently. Intern, in her family, but also to the outside, it was the real head of the family, the hen in the nest. Mama Anna was already then clear the "emancipated" woman to be designated, an entrepreneur and manager. It understood the store to hold together, to economise to make use of the eleven children and to educate, to lead them to independence, caring for livestock to buy the cattle and agricultural products and sell them to manage the bike parking for commuters to prevail but also to care for the ailing husband appropriate if it had to be for. Until the age of 76 years he has pursued this job without a vacation without any interruption, without diseases, more than fifty years to come. We were grateful as they, happy, sometimes downright playful, and if need be but also as a highly energetic and sometimes hot-tempered man described.

Over time, however, the Muhlenkamp Homestead emptied in Senne II gradually. The older daughters and sons left the house and were usually married in the near and far. The other sons were conscripted for forced labor or the military. Marriage, Anna knew it, she was with her asthmatic husband and her youngest, the "Ernchen", a party in this great house, with its large Deele, the many small rooms, the cattle in the stalls, almost all under one roof. And at the same with the exodus of the many couples went their helping hands lost. The work on the entire project rested now mostly alone on their shoulders. need and of its development phase her she would now also encouraged actually be to leave the parental home for an education and at least look around in the neighborhood - Erna was such a constant hard work really still too young and of its constitution ago too soft and gain life experiences.

If wanted to be now even the fledgling Ernchen and it would fulfill their desire to be heard clearly, the parental home for a Training leave in one of the nearby cities (Bielefeld, Paderborn), to live in "intelligent people" (as it has Erna later expressed in the negotiations before the Erbgesundheitsgericht because of forced sterilization!), That would be vital for house and home and the rest of the family had not been absorbed. So had to stay Erna, and cost what it would be by all means also "held".


dealing with third parties, and the other children was Ernchen in the course of this development by Mama Anna and Papa Adolf often be very soft and much too small and too young and too weak and extremely vulnerable declared. Although she was stopped during the day to heavy and serious work and chores, they could in the words and in reports about them clearly perceive this temporary trend of a "diminutive".
... Our small Ernchen - she was Mama "Hauspüngelchen" - she was much too soft for this hard work - she was constantly being revised and completely overwhelmed ...
This ambivalence (Between "of demanding hard work" and "affectionate diminutive") was then and afterwards discussed the case of Erna in family and kinship and in the neighborhood. This ambivalence sent from constant double messages, constant Doublebinds:

You are an adult now, but you still remain just our youngest. Look first in the world around, but we need you here. Will finally take the time, but we do not allow you. Barrel - and work, but the work is too heavy and monotonous for you.












guarded the bikes were daily commuters from the nearby train station Krack The Deele of the farm - an additional task in the daily routine for Erna Kronshage

Another ; Doublebind translated the circumstances: Erna Kronshage "lonely" as a talented and fun-loving woman visibly on the family farm in this original extended family, where nearly 100 additional daily although often personally known to school and commuters to and shuts off their bikes Feierabend picked up again , but no one took the time to be with her, the youngest, actually deal: The siblings had left home and war at the front. And the war and time have captured all the attention. As Erna was barely perceptible. And she felt that - and this state, they too constricted.

Power Words In Sorority Recommendation Letters

8 - "Hear my life ...- bombs on Senne II - Erna's trauma













On the night of Sunday, June 2, 1940, was in the very near vicinity of something terrible happening again and also peculiar. An apparently stray British warplanes had flown on the farm Westerwinter on the opposite side of the street while an attack dropped several bombs that hit a house and several outbuildings and partially destroyed. By a collapsing porch ceiling was Ida G. killed at the age of twenty-two and injured her friend August K. difficult.
The war, which was up to this date actually been far away. Was most appropriate, with the brothers, but far from home out - and brought enough tension with it. And found otherwise been really lucky to place only in the newspapers and on radio.

















And now this, right outside the front door. It was the first bombing in the whole of East Westphalia-Lippe. How easily it could have hit the Muhlenkamp, because the fighters wanted to maybe take the train gliding experts or the railway line, because otherwise there were far and no important war aims. The line maybe to stop the rail transportation of military goods from the United Benteler in Schloss Neuhaus, or the power to the military training area Senne. But perhaps an ailing sole bomber pilot had to drop ballast - and it was really a random and unplanned results







.










At the macabre was then at the weekend after a real bomb and disaster tourism from Bielefeld and Verl and Schloss Holte and from Gütersloh and Paderborn. Everyone wanted the building rubble and the fresh bomb craters on the Westerwinter's Court next to look.

The entire air defense had failed miserably. There had been no sirens, no Flakabwehrfeuer as the later should still experience a few times too well. There were no warnings. Erna was startled at night, noise was heard, had heard the roar of the fighter engine as he tried to low-level flight to his death to sell load, it had heard crashing and lightning seen. Only the fire department siren some time later was an indication of the catastrophe that had played there just before Deelentür. was
















for Erna with this disaster in the neighboring house the world are almost still.

So that was this "heroic war", which earlier in the school, but now everywhere was reported at every turn so full of enthusiasm and Gloria. From a deadly resistance of the enemy, of their own losses at home in such a war was never previously been mentioned.

















And Erna was this bombing as a shock that went through and through. Erna suffered - and there were no relief workers to work through this shock due. Erna Kronshage was highly intelligent and extremely sensitive. And then arrives Such events particularly hard. That you put a 17 year old who has been particularly guarded, not simply gone - this sudden threat to the existence - of "blue" ...

Einstein Dress Up For School

9 - It comes to a head ...




















wife, Alma R. 's description of the situation as a contemporary witness:

"So just before they escalated this situation in the Muhlenkamp to Erna, she is supposed to increase her friend from next door who have visited Olga K.. No, her mother was not that good. But what Mama Anna was already good from what made the Erna in their spare time too.

The Erna there is so slipped into, as the last child of her parents as a child of her time. Their fate was to come in ever greater strife, being unable to decide clearly, just to stand and between the fronts. The external war was also the same in their inner to a war.

For Erna was an increasingly hopeless situation. All of us, her former classmates were, with hindsight IS generally better off here, despite the massive adjustments by political opponents and the terrible fate of our parents here and there. My father was yes, as a former SPD mayor of Senne II even sent to prison for "high treason" because he had said something critical to the Nazi state. Our parents had already asked several years ago even in town or at their premises for apprenticeships or work opportunities for us. When Erna was clear from the start that she had to stay on the farm only once and had to go to the parents on hand. And that was in her family seem normal. Since it was his own happiness Smith, and the parents would be unnecessarily Erna, actually for selfish motives, because you could get a long time but a Polish foreign workers for the court. You did all - and there was also no moral concerns. Especially if you had sons at the front - and indeed the father Adolf had asthma and Mama Anna was indeed the Mother's Cross in gold.

And they had intended to get a foreign worker - and Erna been able to begin an education - or at least in a company work, so they came out again.
So if You ask me, it had to come to a scandal. That was actually in sight. This was clearly perceived. At that time we have not seen so clearly. We were too young, much too immature to have already been developed for antennas. Today I know that it was clear what happened then, too.

It started with the fact that Erna's smock dresses in the morning always looked dirty, a little less often changed, and her hair appeared less well maintained. She herself seemed suddenly to be maintained less total. She previously appeared in spite of their hard work and appropriate work clothes are still fresh and neat. Everything was clean, it matched the colors to each other, the wooden shoes were cleaned. And that stopped abruptly, which was then all a bit sloppy. I was her companion and even a very good friend, I would have also mentioned this, but ...

Yes - and then came the days that was so in the fall of 1942, where we got the morning Erna not to face if we shuts off the bikes Kamp-mill on the farm. If we then asked mother Anna, where Erna, was whether she was ill, then Anna replied, yes, the well was sick, quite probably had the "rotten Fever. Putrid fever. Yes, who was sitting in the evening until the wee hours over at her friend for a chat and have only nonsense in your head would be, not just early in the morning out of bed. And mother Anna also said she had been with the "Brown Sisters" spoken by the NSA, which would from time to time over because Erna so "obstreperous" would be.



Nowadays I think we might have to take care of everything. Because her condition had certainly to do with the fact that they are on the court "isolated" really was, as the youngest sibling in the chain. The sisters married or out of the house - and the brothers in the war at the front. And Erna stayed behind and had no one to talk. We would have to talk to her. Since I'm really blame sometimes. Then, we would have needed the Erna, as friends, as interlocutors. But somehow we Erna's life was even then already become too foreign. Their reality had so little in common with our reality. And that something "stupid" everyday in all its leading talents then certainly this peculiar "instruction" in the mental hospital where she was even involved with.

Whether that has been with the bombing against the Muhlenkamp at Westerwinter in context - I do not know. The Erna has indeed re-experienced quite differently than we who lived further away and no neighbors were Ida G..

We would have more time to talk with Erna ... "
