Memories of war – “Your own brother could have shown you”

Date:

Ignaz Watscher was almost four years old when the Second World War started. He can remember the bombs, distrust within families and the “useless” lessons – and he knows what helps against the brutalization of society.

Ignaz Watscher had no easy youth: on October 30, 1935 a girl was born in the municipality of Eberstein in St. Waldburgen in the municipality of Eberstein, his parents were not married. As a two -year dollar he suffered heavy burns while playing on the oven -even reported the newspaper (see facsimile below); And a little later Ignaz was still a small child, his mother died of pneumonia. As orphan, he grew up on a farm where he also worked – without wages.
