I can add a personal note here. I was lucky enough, as a Harvard delegate, to go to the first World Youth Festival in Prague in 1947. At the Palestine evening we saw a chic uniformed Zionist dance and song group organized by the Jewish Agency. And the Ron Workers Chorus, a leftist group, no uniforms, singing leftist songs, both Jewish and Arab like the singers. The Festival asked both to perform on one evening in one place. But after the Jewish Agency group finished and the Ron chorus was ready to begin, all lights in the huge opera house went out. A minute later they were back &#8211; and a cloud of leaflets with a Zionist message floated down from the top gallery. Only then was the chorus able to sing, with Esther. So I saw and heard her 74 years ago!<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_27986\" style=\"width: 641px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-27986\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-27986\" src=\"http:\/\/www.deanreed.de\/AmericanRebel\/2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/dertttt-300x157.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"631\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.deanreed.de\/AmericanRebel\/2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/dertttt-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/www.deanreed.de\/AmericanRebel\/2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/dertttt-1024x537.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.deanreed.de\/AmericanRebel\/2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/dertttt-768x403.png 768w, https:\/\/www.deanreed.de\/AmericanRebel\/2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/dertttt-1536x806.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.deanreed.de\/AmericanRebel\/2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/dertttt.png 1628w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 631px) 100vw, 631px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-27986\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Nazis murdered Esther&#8217;s parents, her sister Ruth, her husband and many other relatives and friends.

Es war ein unangenehmer Job, erm\u00f6glichte ihr aber zu \u00fcberleben, bis sie, nachdem sie am Ende des Krieges auf einem erzwungenen &#8222;Todesmarsch&#8220; den Wachen entkommen war, von Einheiten der Roten Armee und der US-Armee gerettet wurde.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">&#8230;<\/span><\/span><\/span><span class=\"VIiyi\" lang=\"de\"><span class=\"JLqJ4b\" data-language-for-alternatives=\"de\" data-language-to-translate-into=\"en\" data-phrase-index=\"0\">Esther ging nach Pal\u00e4stina. Hier kann ich eine pers\u00f6nliche Anmerkung hinzuf\u00fcgen. Ich hatte das Gl\u00fcck, als Harvard-Delegierter 1947 zum ersten Weltjugendfest in Prag zu gehen. Beim Pal\u00e4stina-Abend sahen wir eine schicke, uniformierte zionistische Tanz- und Gesangsgruppe, die von der Jewish Agency organisiert wurde. Und der Ron Workers Chorus, eine linke Gruppe, keine Uniformen, die linke Lieder singen, sowohl j\u00fcdische als auch arabische wie die S\u00e4nger. Das Festival bat beide, an einem Abend an einem Ort aufzutreten. Aber nachdem die Gruppe der Jewish Agency fertig war und der Ron-Chor beginnen konnte, gingen alle Lichter im riesigen Opernhaus aus. Eine Minute sp\u00e4ter waren sie zur\u00fcck \u2013 und eine Wolke von Flugbl\u00e4ttern mit einer zionistischen Botschaft schwebte von der obersten Galerie herab. Erst dann konnte der Chor mit Esther singen. Also habe ich sie vor 74 Jahren gesehen und geh\u00f6rt!<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">&#8230;<\/span>Sie heiratete, bekam Kinder, war aber nicht gl\u00fccklich. Wie sie schrieb: \u201eMein Mann und ich konnten die israelische Politik nicht ertragen. Es war eine Katastrophe&#8230; Das Leben war schwierig, weil wir mit den schrecklichen Dingen, die den Pal\u00e4stinensern angetan wurden, nicht einverstanden waren.\u201c<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">&#8230;<\/span>1960 wagte sie mit ihrer Familie den dramatischen Umzug zur\u00fcck nach Deutschland, nach Hamburg. Aber sie hatte ihr fr\u00fcheres Leiden nicht vergessen. Sie hat nie aufgeh\u00f6rt, Faschismus und ehemalige Nazis zu bek\u00e4mpfen, wo immer sie ihren Kopf zeigten. Das bedeutete in den 1960er-Jahren in Westdeutschland noch fast alle Lebensbereiche, bis hin zu Bundeskanzler Kurt Kiesinger (1966-1969) und Bundespr\u00e4sident Heinrich L\u00fcbke (1959-1969).<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">&#8230;<\/span>Sie gr\u00fcndete in ihrem Wohnzimmer einen deutschen Zweig des Auschwitz-Komitees und wurde Ehrenpr\u00e4sidentin des Vereins der NS-Opfer, wobei sie gelegentlich Wasserwerfern trotzte, um Neonazi-Paraden zu stoppen. Sie war bei Friedensdemonstrationen aktiv und unterst\u00fctzte Kuba gegen die Blockade.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">&#8230;<\/span>Nach 1988 schloss sie sich ihrem Sohn, ihrer Tochter und jungen t\u00fcrkisch-deutschen Musikern in Gruppen an, die modernisierte internationale Lieder, j\u00fcdische Lieder und neue politische Lieder f\u00fcr alle guten Zwecke spielten, einschlie\u00dflich der Rechte der Pal\u00e4stinenser, ihre Boykottkampagne durchzuf\u00fchren. In zahllosen Schulen setzte sie sich mit ihrer Geschichte gegen die vielen Einf\u00e4lle der Faschisten ein, und ihre letzte Aktion bestand darin, sich daf\u00fcr einzusetzen, dass der 8. Mai, der Tag des Sieges \u00fcber die Nazis, zum Nationalfeiertag erkl\u00e4rt wird.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">&#8230;<\/span>Die meisten Medien und viele Politiker dr\u00fcckten ihr Lob und ihre Trauer aus \u2013 nachdem sie sie im Leben fast v\u00f6llig ignoriert und Organisationen, in denen sie als bekennende Kommunistin aktiv war, angegriffen und versucht hatten, sie zu unterdr\u00fccken. Sie betonten, wie sie den Antisemitismus immer bek\u00e4mpft habe. Sie hatte es zwar ununterbrochen, aber nicht in der Art, wie sie den Begriff benutzten, und bezeichnete jeden als Antisemiten, der die israelische Regierungspolitik, ihre Siedlungen, Besatzung, Repression, ihre Raketen- und Drohnenangriffe kritisierte. Ihre Opposition dagegen und ihre eindeutig linken Ansichten und Aktionen wurden von der offiziellen Regierung und ihren Medien fast unerw\u00e4hnt gelassen. Aber nicht zu den Tausenden, die an der Trauerfeier teilnahmen, die sie geliebt, an ihrer Seite gek\u00e4mpft, ihre Musik genossen hatten \u2013 und sie sehr vermissen w\u00fcrden.<\/span> <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.deanreed.de\/AmericanRebel\/2017\/?cat=7\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">More by Victor Grossman<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; color: #ffffff;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span id=\"result_box\" class=\"\" lang=\"en\" style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><span title=\"Dabei muss man nicht grundlegend um die Meinung der Redaktion handeln. \">Only the author is responsible for the content of this article.<br \/>\nIt doesn&#8217;t have to be the opinion of the editorial board.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<table class=\" alignleft\" width=\"987\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<form action=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr\" method=\"post\" target=\"_top\"><input alt=\"Jetzt einfach, schnell und sicher online bezahlen \u2013 mit PayPal.\" name=\"submit\" src=\"https:\/\/www.paypalobjects.com\/de_DE\/DE\/i\/btn\/btn_donateCC_LG.gif\" type=\"image\" \/><\/form>\n<\/td>\n<td><span style=\"color: #993300;\"><strong><span id=\"result_box\" class=\"\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"\">Even leftist journalism is not free<br \/>\nand even small donations can help to publish big things!<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"zur Startseite\" href=\"http:\/\/www.americanrebel.de\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/www.deanreed.de\/AmericanRebel\/2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/back_ar.png\" alt=\"zur\u00fcck zur Startseite\" width=\"156\" height=\"15\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/1683837971860223\/permalink\/1987214344855916\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.deanreed.de\/AmericanRebel\/2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ar_zu_fb.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"353\" height=\"15\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.deanreed.de\/AmericanRebel\/2017\/?p=16137#respond\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.deanreed.de\/AmericanRebel\/2017\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/ar_kommentar-1.png\" alt=\"Sag uns deine Meinung zum Artikel mit einem Kommentar\/Leserbrief\" width=\"627\" height=\"20\" \/><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Victor Grossman \u2013 20.
