Chapter 558: Sinful Love (Medium)
Throughout her childhood, filled with white eyes, insults and rejections, no child wanted to accept her as her friend, and in her long lonely childhood, she could only fantasize that her father was a hero or a god to talk to ****** Klaus? Peter? Nichol never knew he was half French, until he was fifty years old when he received a letter from a stranger to his aunt by blood. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
In the letter, his aunt told him that he was the son of a French laborer and a German woman, and that his mother had given him up for adoption in order to escape gossip.
Since then, all the alienation and roughness he had encountered in his childhood have been justified, and he begins to look for his father, but it is not an easy task. Because even after so many years, the elders around him still think that his existence is a shame.
Genein, founder of the War Children National Mutual Aid Society? At the age of thirteen, Nivova understood many things, why her birth certificate said "father unknown", why her maternal grandfather did not like her, why her classmates and neighbors looked down on her.
This was not only because her mother was a single mother, but more importantly because her father was a German soldier.
In the here and now, tens of thousands of French women who "collaborated directly with the enemy" were shaved and paraded through the streets, while their children were abandoned, adopted, or raised by themselves but brutalized.
Gérald? Periox's mother was lucky enough to escape the parade and all kinds of abuse, but she never escaped the shame of being in love with the Germans. As a result, the child became the object of her anger.
Mr. Periox, now 63, recalls that his mother beat him almost every day, made him sleep in a cramped storage room, and that his mother and stepfather even forced him to eat fleas. His mother never told him who his biological father was, and as soon as Periox asked this question, his mother yelled at him, "It's none of your business"!
In 2002, France Channel 3 produced a documentary "Children of Shame", which told the story of these World War II illegitimate children to the public for the first time, which made many of these World War II illegitimate children feel for the first time that they are not unidentified mongrels and that they are not a lonely individual phenomenon.
So, in their sixties, they began to tell their stories, hoping to find their biological father or blood relatives in this way.
Many writers and journalists from Germany and France also took part and created many works on the subject.
Among them, the most famous is the French writer Jean? Paul? Picapet's two books: The Cursed Child, which reflects the story of the illegitimate child of a German officer and a French woman, and Love Sin, a story about a French laborer and a German woman, Love Sins - Children of a French Laborer.
Let? Paul? Picapet said he wrote the two books to prove that even war can't take away people's right to love each other.
In order to help these World War II illegitimate children find their roots, the children of German soldiers and French women, Jeanneen? In 2005, Nivova founded the National Association for War Children (ANEG).
On their official website, written in both German and French, these World War II illegitimate sons remember and reminisce about their foreign father.
"Do we have the same forehead, the same eyes, the same breath as you?
Are you gentle and kind, or irritable and vicious?
Can someone tell us everything about you?
Through the years of your vanishing and our long suffering,
In the depths of our hearts,
Oh Father,
Our Lost Father, Our Father Seeking, Our German Father,
We love you. ”
Although the memory of their father is very small, and even the fact that most of these German-French illegitimate children have never met their biological father, they hope to commemorate and find the man who brought them life in this way.
Because no matter how history is written, they believe that the foreign man who brought them life was an ordinary good man, a kind father.
As Geneine? Nivova said: "My father was a good man. ”
Unlike these World War II illegitimate children's active pursuit of their own identity and folk historians' excavation of the truth, German and French officials have long been secretive about the issue of German and French illegitimate children.
Let? Paul? Picapet also admits that it was difficult to find historical information about the two books on the illegitimate children of Germany and France. In France, in particular, this history is obscured.
Many believe that the reason why French officials have avoided talking about it is that the French are accustomed to celebrating glorious moments in history, preferring to chew on the glory of the Napoleonic era over and over again rather than admit their weakness and defeat during the German occupation.
In his speech celebrating the victory, de Gaulle mentioned that "this victory was a victory in which all the French fought in unity." The French seem to have forgotten the rise and dance of the occupied areas during the German occupation and the pain of the years when the "French traitors" came out in large numbers.
In addition, French officials are concerned that the overly high-profile recognition of the identities of these German-French illegitimate children will also irritate the elderly World War II veterans and members of the resistance to the Nazi movement.
After the 60th anniversary of the Normandy landings, things gradually turned around as the shadow of war faded away, thanks to the efforts of a large number of civilian figures and historians.
In 2009, the German government announced its willingness to grant dual citizenship to the children of German soldiers living in France, and the French foreign minister, speaking of the issue, said: "They are just innocent victims." He also said that the government was willing to give help to these German-French illegitimate children.
When the slogan "Be Love, Not War" became a world-famous anti-war slogan, the official recognition of the identity of these "enemies' children" was long overdue, but at least it could soothe the traumatized hearts of these "World War II bastards".
"It's a taboo subject, no one wants to listen to it, and it can hurt our national pride," he noted. In fact, Parisians were well adapted to life under the Nazis. ”
The book says that Parisian women forgot about their husbands in the concentration camp and slept with the "blonde savages" German officers whom they cursed and admired in their hearts. In addition to the Germans, they slept with anyone who could help them through the economic difficulties, such as grain and oil store owners, wealthy merchants, and creditor neighbors.
The article points out that in the beacon age of food rationing, a woman's body is the only renewable, inexhaustible, and inexhaustible "currency".
The winter nights in Paris are bitterly cold and the supply of coal is tight, but Parisian women are active, they sneak out of the house to find pleasure and "keep warm"; The curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. is the culmination of the "big hybrids party" in Paris. As a result, in 1942, the birth rate in France skyrocketed, becoming one of the three peaks in the country's history
