Remarck biography nationality
Our slaughtered intelligentsia and Jews are to blame for everything. Erich Maria Remarck, Black Obelisk, beloved by many remarks, is one of the largest writers of the twentieth century, whose novels are translated into fifty languages. In this dialogue of remark heroes, in this “what does Jews have to do with it? Infrequently, Nevrei writers paid so much benevolent attention to the Jews in their works.
And let's take into account that this is partly written at a time when the rejoicing feast of Nazism spread throughout Europe and the world, and it was not known whether the Nazis would stop anyone. Surname-not Kramer at the remark of German-French origin. Only in G. But this did not prevent the fact that this fable was widely dispersed around the world and is still taken on faith. For almost forty years I never refuted what was written about me, no matter how mistaken it was.
This is one of the first lessons assimilated by a person who is successful. When you know this, you save yourself from unrest, lawyers, unnecessary judicial costs, stomach ulcers and heart attack. The newspaper is always right - already because every day comes out again. What is the use of lonely clarification if it is printed on a page interspersed with ads? Alas, even after this remark replica, and even in our days, lies continue to move along a number of publications, documentary and art books.
But in the life of the remark there were a lot of Jews. The second and last spouse of the prose writer was the American actress Polett Goddar, a Jewish for her father, the ex -wife of Charlie Chaplin. He devoted her to the novel "Time to Live and Time to die." When Hollywood filmed him according to the remark scenario, Remarck played a small role of Professor Polman, who was pursued by the Nazis, hiding a Jew in his house.
He returned from the front with a convinced pacifist. In the city, this completely contradicted the aggressive ideas of the Nazis, who accused Remarus of betraying the interests of the Motherland. He recalls a funny incident. One Viennese writer rewrote the word to the word chapter from the novel, but gave it another name and another name of the author. The text was published with the preface that this is a grand chronic document, in each line of which the truth, in contrast to such subversive books as “on the Western Front without changes”.
The Oscar film award was also awarded the director of the film - a native of the Russian Empire Lev Milstein Lewis Milestone. In the end, before the premiere of the film in Berlin, Joseph Goebbels, who headed the Nazi Berlin organization at that time, suggested that Remarus confirm that the film was made without his knowledge. As a reward, he promised me the patronage of the Nazi party.
He was not embarrassed that his party reproached me and my romance in the same. His messenger told me that public memory is short, and the party is accustomed to discipline, they will believe what they will tell them. Do not say that I rejected this nonsense Goebbels led the breakdown of her show in Berlin. Near the cinema, “Hitler on the threshold! From the balcony of the hall, where the film was demonstrated, the attack aircraft dumped smoke bombs on the audience, released white mice into the public.
The police sympathized with the pogroms and did not stop them. At that time, the Nazis were already very popular in Germany. The Council for Cinema Products prohibited the demonstration of the film "On the Western Front without Changes." Say, the greatness of the German soldier is not shown. At the beginning of G. And in Germany, his books were burned in squares. Nowadays, in the city, one can note the novels “Triumphal Arch”, “Shadows in Paradise” or its more complete version called “The Promised Earth”.
Very eloquent, written in the city from the conversation between the German-antinacist and the Jew:-Do you know what I had just read about? The extractorous son of the German legionnaire is the lack of elementary rights, hunger, overnights on hays or wretched rooms in cheap boarding, trading in small things to somehow feed, police areas, prisons for illegal residence ... “A person without a passport is the same as a corpse on vacation.
It is just right for him to commit suicide. There is nothing left, ”says one of the heroes of the work. And yet they are able to be friends, love, fight. From the fate of individuals, Remarus folds the mosaic of emigrant life. One of the main characters of the novel Ludwig Kern. When the police detained him in Vienna, he said that he was still deprived of citizenship with his father.
There was a remarkable dialogue: - And for what? .. Why didn't you stay in Germany? We stayed, we would put us in jail. And then we decided: if we sit, it is better in any other country, if only not in Germany. Father Kern had a laboratory for the production of medical soap and spirits. One of the competitors complained to the Gestapo that he was conducting anti -state conversations.
Kern Sr. spent six weeks in prison, the scammer bought a laboratory from him for a ridiculous price, and soon the order on the expulsion of the Kernes came and endless ordeals began: Czechoslovakia, Austria, Hungary. The police transferred them from the country to the country, then they again secretly crossed the borders. In Hungary, a part with his mother took place.Hungarian by origin was allowed to stay at home.
And Ludwig and his father are again forced to “travel” around the world. Ruth is a Jewish girl with whom Ludwig met in exile. She has her own history of exile. The German student Herbert Billing held a crumpled newspaper in his hand and said Ruth: “I was called in the newspaper Jewish Kholuy!” A man who is dishonored his race! This is a complete collapse, do you understand? .. So the end, right?
We broke up, and it is all over by us. Now goodbye ... I have to get out somehow. All my career is put on the map. This is printed in the newspaper that everyone reads ... - You are right, Herbert ... That's it. Now goodbye. She turned and went. Nobody will see us ... Why do we need to part like that ... I want to say so officially ... After all, you can again ... - go away, ”she said.
Ruth looked at the beautiful face for a minute, which she loved, whom she thought thoughtlessly. Then she swung and gave Billing a slap in the face. He staggered and took a step back. Beat me! And is it you, a dirty Jewish pig, dare you beat me? He wanted to rush at her. Thank God that I got rid of you! Then Ruth came anonymous: if after three days she does not disappear, then her hair will be cut off and as a defileer of the Aryan race, she will be taken on a cart through the whole city with shameful inscriptions on her back and chest.
She was forced to hastily flee the border to Czechoslovakia. And nearby, the ordinary life of Remarus shows how much people shares and engaged in illegal migration of officials: “Their blood of the same temperature, their eyes are arranged the same, their nerves react to the same irritations, their thoughts develop in the same directions - and yet there is a abyss between them, nothing is the same, torture for the other, one - the other power, the other, the other; And the abyss separating them is just a piece of paper on which nothing is written except the name and several minor information.
” A crowded large waiting room for the Committee for Assistance to Refugees in Prague in Prague seems empty: “Like shadows, people sat or stood in the twilight. Almost no one was talking. Each of them has already expressed hundreds of times and discussed everything that concerned him ... Waiting was the last barrier before despair. More than half of those present were Jews. ” Among all this silent sadness, a girl of about six years old played at ease, "live and impatient, with brilliant eyes and black curls." At her request, the musician played on the violin.
The sounds of the violin seemed to transform everything - they shave together "the dumb loneliness of many small lives that sheltered in these walls, collecting their grief in one great general complaint and longing." The old man, sitting nearby, laughed. And the ordinary life of those who did not affect the disasters: the sky is blue, fields, meadows, in the reflections of the sun sparkle roofs, streams of people walking or hurrying home, there are large buses, lively conversations in cafes, funny girls in bright dresses.
In the best case, they have only their little joys. When Kern was allowed to live in Prague as long as 14 days, the first thing he went to the policeman and asked: “What time is it, Mr. Potova?
And when he was in nature after the next imprisonment, he enjoyed a short respite, silence and peace, "another hour or two, and care will begin again, he will again feel the produced and persecuted." In rare pleasant minutes, the heroes “I want to have no tomorrow ... Tomorrow is always fear and uncertainty.” From the Jew Goldbach, a man “under fifty”, a wife left in exile - a beautiful thirty -year -old woman National origin was not noted, which he loved.
