“50 Years of Intercultural Social Work” – Council of International Fellowship

Symposium in Hamburg August 27 to 29, 2010

Dear Participants and Guests of the Symposium ―50 Years of Intercultural Social Work,‖ It is with great pleasure that I congratulate you on your 50th anniversary of promoting mutual understanding by bringing together professionals in the field of social and youth work and special education from all around the globe. Through more than 5,000 exchange participants from 110 countries, over past five decades you have created a vibrant network of alumni who are dedicated not only to serving their communities, but also to creating a more peaceful world. With your work and mission you are echoing President Barack Obama‘s call to all Americans to participate in America‘s recovery and renewal by serving their communities. President Obama is a strong supporter of empowering ordinary people to do extraordinary things. He believes that civic engagement and service should be a lifelong commitment, whether at the school, community, city, state, or national level and, let me add, at the international level as well. With your exemplary dedication to promoting international exchanges, you are paying tribute to your founder, Dr. Henry Ollendorff, and his vision of the ―universal human community.‖ To quote his wife, Martha, from an interview she gave in 2005, ―Henry Ollendorff was convinced that the way to global peace was through personal contact and shared experiences.‖ As a representative of the U.S. Mission to Germany and as someone who majored in Social Work, I am particularly proud that the U.S. government helped establish and support this dynamic global exchange program. I am sure that you will experience a successful and inspiring symposium in Hamburg and I wish the Council of International Fellowship all the best for the next 50 years! With best regards, Karen E. Johnson Consul General

Dietrich Wersich

Welcome address on the anniversary of the “Council of International Fellowship”

Dear Participants, ―Meeting each other means adding to each other‖. And that is exactly the idea that brought you all together to Hamburg. When Henry B. Ollendorf founded the Council of International Fellowship (CIF) at the ―Auf dem Stintfang‖ here, his intention was to promote the exchange of information, experience, and ideas in the field of social and youth work. What began as a rather small community comprised of former members of a German-American exchange programme is today an organization with members in more than 40 countries. Over the past 50 years, thousands of scholarship holders have studied and worked abroad in foreign countries. And now, you, dear participants, have come from all over the globe. But one thing has never changed: the idea that when we meet each other, we add to each other. A concept that might be even more important in our globalised world than it was at the beginning of the 1960s. As a maritime city, Hamburg has always attracted people from different countries. But today, intercultural competence is more vital than ever to anyone involved in social and youth work. Knowledge and awareness of the traditions, values, and characteristics of other cultures is crucial to developing an understanding of people from diverse origins and being able to support them. Moreover, the recognition and acceptance of social work amongst the public greatly depends on the extent to which it can help solve social problems. While such problems and challenges are often comparable across countries, the locally developed strategies are not. On a global scale, we can learn a lot from each other in this regard. Your meeting at CIF, and especially your exchange programme, promote and encourage this type of learning process. I wish CIF all the best in continuing the programme‘s success for another 50 years and beyond. International dialogues generate essential and valuable suggestions, inspiration, and ideas. The international exchange between professionals and experts creates potentials, develops and enhances skills and knowledge, and promotes understanding and awareness. Yours sincerely,

Dietrich Wersich Head of the Hamburg Ministry for Social and Family Affairs, Health and Consumer Protection

Dr. Domenico Antonio Merola

Welcome from the President of CIF - INTERNATIONAL

I am privileged and honoured to be addressing you on this very special occasion as President of our beloved CIF, celebrating 50 years of active life. The hardest thing to do is to decide what to say and how to say it, so I‘m just going to follow my heart, because CIF‘s where my heart is. Allow me first of all to mention Henry Ollendorff, the man who inspired the founding members that in 1960 gave birth to this wonderful adventure called the Council of International Fellowship. Each and every one of them will be appropriately named and revered individually at the celebration, to remind us all of the men and women who represent our roots. The same spirit that motivated our forefathers followed in the years to gradually develop our Association into what it is today: an ongoing opportunity to encourage professional growth, international understanding and friendship with no strings attached, as I like to define it. If we have survived for half a century with so little material resources, there must be a reason! Looking to the future, however, many queries arise. Are we adequately equipped to convey our message to the younger generations? Do we need to adapt in some way on how to present such message? How can we adequately respond to the new needs of a fast changing world, keeping true to the original spirit? These and more questions, I feel, need our utmost attention and, in fact, we have already started for some years what we call our Strategic Planning Process, which is still in progress in its final stage. I like to think that we are all in CIF because we want to not because we have to. This is what makes it so real and essential. There is no power struggle, you become an office holder or you accept a certain task driven by your belief in the cause and this is invaluable in a world where things often work differently. This, to me, is the spirit that has brought us where we are and hopefully will continue to live on and take us further, with the appropriate adjustments. Thirty years ago, after participating in the CIP Program in Minnesota, I wrote some words that were then put into music, these words, better than anything else convey the message I have lived all of this time, keeping the flame alive! Allow me to share them with you:

The same fears and hopes we all have, The same fears and hopes we all have, the programs take us back in years, starting each time anew, building and living the special gift of friendship of.....(chorus)

Ilse Hoffmann

A warm welcome to the CIF International’s symposium in Hamburg:

“50 Years Of Intercultural Social Work” On behalf of CIF Germany I, as chairwoman, may gladly bid you welcome here in Hamburg, the place of foundation of CIF International. We are very pleased with so many of you finding their way to the symposium and the weekend-festivities; especially in terms of celebrating the jubilee with a part of the founding members. It is not only a ‗decadal birthday‘ but also the retrospective view on 50 years of active Intercultural Social Work all around this globe. People of many nations met with new framework conditions in a different country and mutually enhanced their professional roots and connections as well as their interpersonal encounters. The get-together of people of many different countries, different cultures and different ethnical backgrounds was Henry Ollendorff‘s idea already 50 years ago: He knew of the importance and necessity of learning from one another. It had a different meaning after the Second World War but it is still of prevailing relevance in prospect us growing together evermore. Considering the Globalization all nations have to take intercultural lessons – and CIF made more than half a century‘s contribution by teaching especially the younger generations. Meanwhile even the science detected the work of CIF – so within these hours in Hamburg we will hear about the livelong learning caused by one single momentum. We will also learn of the sustainability and effect of exchange programs with the aid of mutual exchange and a practical example. To say it in the last week‘s soccer world championship: a young team set out 50 years ago for making the kick-off to achieve something – and the match is not over but continues to invite young players to participate.

What CIF Means to the Henry Ollendorff Family From Martha (wife, age 100+), Frank (son) and Jane (daughter-in-law) CIF offers each of us personally the wonderful opportunity to make friends from around the world—from France to India, from the Phillipines to the Baltics, from Germany to New Zealand and more. As we meet and learn about your lives and cultures at the CIF International conferences and through our travels, we discover again and again how much we have in common and how valuable the opportunities you offer us to expand our knowledge and understanding by sharing our differences. We feel so enriched and grateful and amazed that CIF has kept Henry Ollendorff‘s vision and dreams alive and expanding for more than 50 years. ―It would mean so much to Henry to know that you continue the program through CIF—unchanged, promoting peace through cultural exchange,‖ said Martha. We appreciate our common concern for social welfare, sharing human services delivery best practices, and valuing diversity and peaceful resolution of conflicts. We also share your love of music, dance, laughter and just plain fun! Thank you for being our ―best friends‖ living worlds apart, touching us personally, intellectually and socially.

Martha, Frank and Jane Ollendorff, 2010

Anita Gerdes

Greetings from Anita Gerdes (Germany), participant in the 1

st CIP program 1956 and one of

the founding members of the Council of International Fellowship Honoured Senator Mr. Wersich, Guests, Friends and Members of the Council of International Fellowship: A cordial welcome to you all, thanks for coming and greetings from two of our founding members who are not able to be with us for this celebration weekend, due to health reasons. So I‘m bringing greetings to you from Marlies Hornberger, participant in Cleveland 1957, who over many years edited our CI Magazine in her family owned printing shop without sending a bill, as well as from Gisela Senssfelder. Most of you know her as our very good friend from Germany who was with the program since its beginning in 1956 and side by side with Henry Ollendorff she was the creative mind and initiator to establish CIF. She is especially sorry that she cannot be here with us due to her severe illness. The doctor advised her not to travel from Bonn to Hamburg. She had planned to send a letter of greeting but at the present time she is not able to do so. So she sends greetings to all of you, wishing a successful symposium in remembrance of 54 years of CIP and 50th anniversary of CIF and asked me to tell you what she might have said or written to us. So, instead of her I want to tell you a bit about why it happened that in 1960 our Council of International Fellowship was founded here in Hamburg at our third international meeting with the theme ―Youth Work done by Voluntary and Statuary Bodies‖. Gisela had been working at the United States Embassy in Stuttgart, responsible for German –American Exchange programs, its organisation and preparing the participants for their trip to the USA. In order to get to know the special aspects of the new ‗Cleveland Program for Youth Leaders and Social Workers‘, which was the name of the beginning , in Cleveland, Ohio. Gisela was asked to accompany the second group in 1957 to Cleveland to take part in the theoretical program with lectures and visits in agencies, helped with some organisational things in the office and went for contacts to Washington D.C., before going back to Germany after 2 months. Back to her regular work in Stuttgart she started to organise weekend meetings for the returnees 1958 in Darmstadt, Henry‘s home town, with the theme ―education‖ and 1959 in Bad Liebenzell where the theme was ―integration‖. Both meetings were small ones but already with international participation with friends from neighbouring countries. The result was the request of the participants to hold meetings every other year, to extend the time for about 3 -5 days and include lectures about social work, agency visits and have those professional meetings in other countries too, organised by former participants in CIP. That, however would cause lots of time, planning, monetary problems. The hosting of these meetings should rotate between participating countries and be organised by their members.

So Gisela Senssfelder and Henry Ollendorff discussed this situation at one of Henrys regular visits in Stuttgart and Bonn. Henry brought up exactly the same subjects: The sponsors of CIP in the U.S. such as the State Department, the Fulbright Commission, universities, the Neighbourhood Settlement Association, where Henry was the director. In addition leading Cleveland citizens and host families kept asking about the results of this unique new exchange program, its evaluation, follow-up programs etc. What would be the long –term benefits of their professional work and participants personally? Regular meetings every 2 years with a larger international group, evaluation of the recent programs in various countries, more intensive social work discussions and themes, recognition of such meetings by social work agencies, administrations and donors would possibly help to support our activities when asking for financial help, extra training days, etc. As a registered organisation we would be able to ask for funds which could be tax free for donors to help members from far away countries who would not be able to pay full costs of such meetings. The realisation of all those plans, mainly the continuation and extension of the program would only be possible if we would found an organisation and have it registered at a civil court in Germany where the work started and activities started and Henry could help to write the constitution in German, because he had a Ph.D. in German law. Henry explained all that to the audience of the conference in Hamburg 1960, making clear that this was a necessity for continuing our great project around the world. The audience voted for the new organisation and this was the birth of our board ‗Council of International Fellowship‘. Our exact birthday is November, 6th, 1960. Birthplace was the ―Stintfang‖, a youth hostel in Hamburg. At this conference, representatives of the following countries were present: Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Lebanon, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the former Yugoslavia. They also decided to establish a Board of Directors. Until today we had 28 international conferences, 8 were held in Germany, 5 in the United States and all the others in so many different participating countries. Our friends in Cyprus are preparing the 29th conference in July 2011 and we are looking forward to it. Friendship and professional exchange around the world between organisations, participants, families, agencies and donors have fastened a strong band and built this wonderful bridge of peace and understanding. May it continue to grow for a long time in the future, finding generous donors, capable participants and leaders. Thank you!

Dr. Beate Arlt

Henry B. Ollendorff: A Biographic Sketch The intention of the following article is to shed some light on a special detail or episode in Henry B. Ollendorff‘s life, namely his time in Hamburg, where he had to undergo a criminal proceeding and suffer from solitary confinement. This biographical item has never been really explored and has, instead, led to various wild guesses and assumptions. That‘s why I started a search of clues in order to find out about the facts by inspecting the court files of those days in the archives1. The documents reflect that unjust system of the Nazis driving Ollendorff and his family into emigration, to leave Germany. In spite of having experienced all this obnoxiousness he returned to Germany only a few years after WWII, reaching out his hand to us (see Kalcher 2004).2 Heinrich Bernhard Ollendorff (called Heinz) is the founder of exchange programs for young people engaged in social work activities. He was born on March 14th, 1907, in Esslingen on Neckar. His parents are Alice Rechnitz and Arthur Ollendorff. His father is an ophthalmologist. Ollendorff has two younger brothers. His mother dies in 1917. His father converts from Judaism to Christianity. His father‘s second wife, Ollendorff‘s step mother, loses her life in Auschwitz concentration camp (see Sennssfelder, 1998: 447). Ollendorff passes on his studies of law in Berlin and Heidelberg and finally earns a doctorate in law (Dr. jur.) in 1929. Besides his studies he is engaged in the German Social Democratic Party (Sennssfelder 1998: 447). He publishes some socially critical articles in the ―Neue Forum‖ (Sennssfelder 1991: 8). On August 8th, 1933, he joins the ―Hamburger Interessengemeinschaft (IG)‖, an association of different companies, a form of private law, as an unsalaried clerk and from February 1st, 1934, as a commercial employee (StAHH Bestand 213-11, Band 4, Hauptakte 3, page 50). In 1934 Ollendorff marries Martha Bürge, whom he got to know in Berlin, in 1932. On December 31st, 1936 he is being eliminated from the Interessengemeinschaft due to the so called ―Arysation‖ (StAHH, Bestand 351-11, page 34). During the time of National Socialism, those citizens were marked as ―Non Aryans‘‖, who were identified as Jewish under the terms of the Nurnberg Race Laws. Special political laws were selectively applied to ―Aryans‖, whereas ―Non Aryans‖ were more and more divested of their rights. ―Arysation‖ is a notion of National Socialism standing for just this disfranchisement denoting the disappropriatíon of Jewish property as well as social marginalization of Jewish people from their working environment and by this from society. This process lasted several years and was underpinned by laws (compare Pollmeier 1998: 374 f.). From April 1937 till May 1938 he was sent to pre-trial confinement, first in the Hamburg-Wandsbek Jail, then in the Holstenglacis Jail, also in Hamburg. He and some other employees of the Interessengemeinschaft were accused of having adulterated

wine, which was imported by their company. They were accused of having sold blended wines and rums and not having paid their foreign currency. Ollendorff, who had been the syndic (in-house lawyer), was incriminated and sentenced for breach of exchange control regulations. The written pleadings of the Public Prosecutor‘s Office and the Court underline that the respective employees were altogether ―Non Aryans‖. This can clearly be understood from the following section in the bill of indictment: ―Having passed his examination as an assessor the accused Dr. Ollendorff worked initially as an unsalaried clerk in the company R. Vogel in order that he take over a leading position in this corporate group. From the beginning on he acted as a syndic. Since the end of 1934 he was incumbent among others on the whole correspondence including the supervisory board. He is non Aryan‖ (StAHH, Bestand 213-11, Band 8, Hauptakte 3, page 6a und 6b).3 On May 31st, 1938, the judgement was rendered by the „Hanseatische Sondergericht in Hamburg―(Hanseatic special Court in Hamburg). The court decision was: Ollendorff was convicted of a cumulative sentence of nine months imprisonment and of penalties of two times 2000. - RM (Reichsmark).4 It was emphasized that „the premises in terms of the laws of exemption from punishment from April 23rd, 1936 and from April 30th, 1938 are not given‖ (StAHH, Bestand 213-11, page 862).5 The sentence was seen as being served by pre-trial confinement of 13 months already suffered by Ollendorff (StAHH, Bestand 351, page 28). It stays indistinct, however, what concretely he was blamed for and whether he was responsible at all. It can be assumed that Ollendorff and his colleagues, to whom the Race Laws were applied, were punished more severely for their supposed responsibility than those would have been, who were seen as Aryans according to the laws of that time. Preparations for emigration into the USA were being done by Ollendorff and his wife immediately after his release from prison. In early September 1938 Ollendorff moved to America, his wife, Martha, followed him later (Ollendorff, J. 2007). Both of them become American citizens (Schmidt/ Senssfelder 2001: 4). In the USA Ollendorff changes his first name into Henry Bernard. One first employment of Ollendorff is in the company L. Bachmann & Co, in New York in the time from January 1st 1939 until August 21st 1939. It is not known, which type of work he had to do there. In September 1939 he starts a one year course of studies in Social Work at Columbia University from where he graduates as a master of social work (see Senssfelder 1998: 447). Immediately after his studies he gets an employment as a Social Worker in the ―Friendly Inn Social Settlement‖ in Cleveland from September 1st to June 30th 1948. His son, Frank, was born in 1939 and daughter Monica in 1944. On July 1st 1948

Ollendorff is nominated Executive Director of ―Neighbourhood Settlement Association of Cleveland‖ (StAHH, Bestand 351-11, page 34). He remains in this position until 1963 (Ollendorff, M. 2007: 21) In the 1950 years Exchange Programs between USA and Germany came into existence. In 1954 Ollendorff is being sent to Germany by the American State Department. As a start he is holding seminars at ―Haus Schwalbach‖, an acknowledged institution for further education of social workers. Ollendorff realizes, however, that it is not enough to lecture. Thus he develops the idea of an exchange program. In 1956 he initiates the ―Cleveland International Program for Youth Leaders and Social Workers‖ (CIP) in the course of which a first exchange program is being implemented. In the first run 25 social workers and youth leaders from Germany are given an opportunity to study fields and methods of social work in the USA. In the next year already 51 participants from 8 countries attend this program in the USA. The idea of re-education, by which the Germans are supposed to relearn how to realize a democratic way of life again, is the decisive impulse for the seminars at Schwalbach as well as for the exchange programs. Selections of participants are being done by Ollendorff himself until his disease in the end of the 1970 years. The programs last several months. Reverse programs, which bring American experts to Germany, are being arranged in a two years turn. In Germany the participants of the exchange programs are supported by the Bundesjugendministerium and by the Fulbright-Commission by means of a grant (see Schmidt/ Senssfelder 2001: 5). Within the frame of their intercultural exchange programs the Fulbright-Commission pays a travel-grant for those participants, who graduated from school by ―Abitur‖ and did not go to the USA until then. The Fulbright Program had been founded on the initiative of US Senator William Fulbright on August 1st, 1946 and was implemented on a world wide level. Fulbright‘s intention was to promote mutual understanding between the USA and other countries after the end of WW II by academic and (inter-) cultural exchange. The program was financed by means of the revenues of selling surplus war materials in order to use them for peaceful purposes (see Wannemacher 2006: 222). In 1965 Ollendorff founded the umbrella organization ―Council of International Programs‖, staying its director until his retirement in 1970 (see Faller 2005: 32). In 1960 the alumni organization ―Cleveland International Fellowship (CIF)‖ was founded in Hamburg on a small hill situated directly at the Hamburg Harbour. In the subsequent decades exchange programs are expanding worldwide. Actually (status February 2010) there are 32 nations represented in CIF-International. After renaming it into ―Council of International Programs for Youth Leaders and Social Workers Federation‖ (1973) the association received its actual name ―Council of International Programs‖ (see Senssfelder 1994:1). Ollendorff dies on October, 2nd, 1979 in Cleveland/Ohio as a consequence of Leukaemia. His wife and his children are living in the USA.

Lollie Bailey- Nilsson

Memories about the First CIP in Reverse Program, in Hamburg 1958 The Honorable Senator Wersich, other honored guests, and my fellow 50th Anniversary Symposium participants.

For those of you who do not know me, my name is Lollie Bailey-Nilsson. I am an American and grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. I have spent the last 30 years of my life living in Stockholm, Sweden married to a most wonderful Swede whom I met as a result of my association with CIF. My husband Stigm whom many of you got to know, passed away 7 years ago. It is indeed an honor to be able to stand here today as one of the founding member of the Council of International Fellowship and also as a representative of the first CIP pogram in Reverse which took place 52 years ago, in this country, Germany, and in cooperation with this city, Hamburg. I am going to focus my remarks on this first pioneer program which has now lead to the establishment of 19 such inter country exchange programs under the aegis of the Council of International Fellowship. The first reverse program occurred just two years after the first CIP program took place in the US. Looking back, I can say that the seven of us selected by Henry Ollendorff, to accept the invitation of the German Ministry for Family and Youth, were given the opportunity to take the first step of a life defining journey. As an aside, I can imagine Henry, at the time, wishing that he had a less challenging task than selecting this group for where in the world, 52 years ago, would one start to look for candidates who were not only a social workers or youth leader, but who spoke German. An almost impossible task, in America, at that time. But Henry did it. Let me very briefly take you back to the fall of 1957, where the Federal Republic of Germany‘s Ministry of Family and Youth issued an official invitation, through the US State Department, to send a small group of American social workers and youth leaders to Germany, as guests of the German government. The invitation was for a 5 week program which would take place during the summer of 1958. On the face of it, such an invitation may have seemed nothing extraordinary. But for the 7 of us selected to accept it, it turned out to be just that--extraordinary. The invitation had been issued as a result of the hard work, careful planning and persistent lobbying of German Ministry officials by Germans who had participants in the CIP program in the US. The effort to have a CIP in reverse, was spearheaded, not only by Giesela Senssfelder, as mentioned earlier by my friend Anita Gerdes, but also by the late Dieter Buchholz, a member of the first CIP German group of 1956. Dieter was from Hamburg. The idea was to make CIP a truly inter country exchange program. One where Americans could experience in Germany, what German youth leaders and social workers had experienced in America. In 1958, not in my wildest dreams could I have foreseen how those five weeks would influence the rest of my life. The Hamburg program opened our eyes, expanded our imagination and made it forever impossible to go back to a parochial view of the world. With the exception of one member

15

of our group, this was the first time any of us had ever been outside the US. This first visit to a foreign country exposed us to a people, a culture, a way of life and particularly the momentous social problems Germany was facing just 13 years after the end of WWII. We listened, we questioned and we learned. And there was reciprocity—for the curiosity on both sides was almost insatiable. Sharing was an exciting two way street. Among the many, many recollections I have, were the long and soul searching discussions with practically everyone we met of all ages but especially those with German youth; the enriching experience of host family living; our field placements in social agencies in and around Hamburg, which for me, and a fellow group member, meant working with as camp counselors in a summer camp run by the German labor union (the DGB) for youth being trained in the skilled trades. Another very special recollection was associated with the evening we attended a performance at the Hamburg Opera. That evening left me with an emotionally, unforgettable memory for it was the first time in my life, I was able to see and hear a Black American baritone, sing a leading role on a world opera stage. That Evening, Lawrence Winters, sang the role of Radames, in a performance of Aida. I want to digress here for a moment and touch on something which I was often asked about after returning to the States. Racism. Did I encounter it, or sense it in any way. The answer is no. At no time did I encounter overt racism directed at me as a Black American even though I had expected it, given the occupation situation at the time. However, what did become clear, almost immediately after arrival in Hamburg, were two things: one, that Black females had rarely, if ever, been seen by Germans and second there was a genuine curiosity about my skin color. Did it rub off? Children in their innocence asked me about this and then of course wanted a hands on test. This curiosity existed among many adult Germans too. However, they were not so forward as to ask but I think I got a lot of long, massage like hand shakes throughout the program. The Hamburg Program was the beginning of my life long association with the Council of International Programs. I have been a member of CIF for 50 years and I am presently a member of it‘s Executive Committee after having also served on it many years earlier. Participation in the German Reverse program set me on a unique and rich life‘s journey. I have had the opportunity to assist in training German youth leaders as a part of the educational program for the Berlin Senate for Youth and Sport and I have been a member of the faculty of one of Berlin college. Before focusing my professional career on higher education and social planning I was privileged to serve on the staff of Cleveland International Program in charge of participant selection in Central and South America. Travels and participation in CIF conferences around the world, has left me with so many friends for life. Most likely, none of this would have happened without that program in the summer of 1958. That summer laid the first building block in what was to become an on going effort to spread knowledge and place buildingblocks in the Council of International Program‘s efforts to build a bridge of understanding and hope between peoples and cultures regardless of race, creed, color or religion. On behalf all of the 1958 group, and I am still in contact with the remaining members, and on behalf of all those who have participated in subsequent German Programs in Reverse, I thank the German Government, the city of Hamburg and the German CIP‘ers for taking the bold step of starting this program 52 years ago. And now I would like to mention the founding members of the Council International Programs who have past away: Dr. Henry B. Ollendorff (USA): Frau Hilde Zamorsky, (Austria); Herr Manfred Zalinski,(Germany).

Dr. Henry Ollendorffs Speech To The First Participants In Cleveland International Program 1956 You have asked about the meaning of this project of ours. Let me try to make it understood by referring to it as a living monument, - a monument alive and for the living. That monument has a foundation and it has a statue. The foundation is made up from memory. It is declined to the millions who have fought and dies so that our country may remain free and yours may become free again. They have laid down their lives on the battlefields of the world, the concentration camps, the bombed-out-cities . They have saved our country‘s honor on July 20, 1944. They have braved the communist‘s tanks on June 17, 1953 Their sacrifice is the foundation on which we - the survivors – can build. The statue on the living monument is hope. Hope for freedom, - hope for peace, - hope for security, - but freedom is the greatest of them. When you entered the harbor of New York, the Torch of Freedom greeted you. But you have learned, even more thoroughly, than we have, that freedom does not just happen, - rather, as the great German poet said, ―in order to have it, freedom must be re-conquered each and every day‖. This task that of pour generation, yes – but even more so is the task of our children and your children, - of your youth and of ours. That is the cause which unites you as leaders of German youth, with my colleagues and me who – as you – have dedicated their lives to its fulfillment. I think of Thomas, my friend‘s young son in West-Berlin, and I think of my own son. And then I know that they will have a task together with all the other Thomases and all the other Franks, - to make freedom secure for every one - everywhere. To that memory and to that hope, this project is dedicated. May it do its littles bit to bring about the dawn of a new day which will beckon a news generation to the shores of a freedom world. Thursday, May 3, 1956 Henry B. Ollendorff

Wilhelm Wannemacher

From POW (Prisoner of War) to Scholarship Holder of CIP

WWII started on Sept 1st, 1939. I was 12 years old and I still do remember this day very well. As a twelve year old boy, however, I was not able to set the phenomenon of war into the context of my life. On the one side I suspected ―war‖ to be something really ugly, on the other side I was curious about what would be going to really happen now. However, I was about to experience it myself only five years later. As a young man, just 17 years old, I was drafted to go to war and the first time in my life I was in mortal fear: Bombing, Artillery impacts, and machine gun fire. All of a sudden war was there, where I was. I couldn‘t escape anymore. I saw that distorted face of war: Suffering, killing and being killed. But the first thing was to survive myself. Finally, after heavy combats, we had to surrender to the superior power of the enemy. The enthusiasm to save the Vaterland, which had before been generated in a questionable way, decreased immediately. Being unconscionably scarified to the total break down of our country we understood that we had been misused by the regime. From now on I was a prisoner of war, POW, captured and humiliated. It is easily reported, what happened after being captured by the Americans: ―Weapons down and hands up‖. Then all valuables changed hand very quickly. Hands behind our heads, up and away we ran and were pushed to a truck. After an adventurous drive lasting several hours, standing and penned up on the truck, we reached an American camp, where an American officer ―welcomed‖ us, hitting and blowing us. Shortly before, the Allied Forces had liberated some concentration camps in East and West, and what they had discovered changed their attitude towards all Germans in a radical way and the result was hatred. From now on every German was a Nazi bastard. Some days later the tour, better the torture, was continued. Eventually we arrived in Chartres, a collective point in France. Supposedly there were about 96 000 POWs. The remainders of the formerly proud German Wehrmacht were only a wreck, beaten and captured. Registered as number 741654 I spent from then on almost two years in a work camp. So, what about life in those different camps? As a prisoner of war you are not supposed to have any expectations. All I was striving for was getting out of the matter unharmed. In this environment I didn‘t meet the American for sure. Those types were too different. Officers and soldiers did their work to rule – not more.

21

Contact to us was reserved. I never felt affection in any way and I knew I couldn‘t expect this as a POW. My image of the Americans had no clear outlines, it was indifferent. Spring 1958. On this experiential background it was of course extremely exciting for me as a stipendiary after war and camps to see, how they really are, the Americans. When at our arrival in the port of New York, though fuzzy in the morning dust, I saw the first sky scrapers and then, most fascinating, Manhattan‘s sky line, the question who these people would be and how they would encounter me, became prevalent. I should get a lot of answers. Meeting my first host family in Cleveland/Ohio, Minnie and Jack Henry and their four children, was already significant. The easy way to welcome a guest was most pleasant as there was no fuzz, no conventional phrases, and with the Jones family, to whom I subsequently rotated I felt the same way. The families Henry and Jones first helped me to get an impression of what life is like in an American middle-class family but meeting the family Day became even more important for my further life in a variety of respects. From now on I was not only an observer of American life but participated in their very family life. I got to know their friends and relatives, colleagues at Richard‘s school, of which he was the director, got acquainted with an elderly Afro-American domestic help, who cared for me like for her own son. The Days were for me more than mere hosts. When Kathy and Richard Day welcomed me at Lyndhurst 24, a suburb of Cleveland, I had no idea that now I opened a new chapter, a new one and perhaps most important chapter on America. I really belonged to the family. With the assistance of the Days I got a deeper insight into American thinking, as an example will show: On October, 4th the Soviets had brought the first artificial satellite into the orbit, ―Sputnik‖. In a private discussion round I wanted to get to know more about the significance of such an event for the Americans. Shrugging his shoulders my neighbour said: ―This is not my problem!‖ Being the manager of a steel mill his problem was moreover, that a German company produced a certain goods at a price that was 50% lover than their offer. This to me meant: America first and then the rest of the world. There were also some moments, which I shared with the Days, being less pleasant. During one of my later visits in Cleveland, Ward, the eldest son had returned from Vietnam physically and emotionally maltreated and traumatized. What he had gone through was to have an enduring impact on the whole family. His younger brother, Andy, left the family, actually dissociated himself from them and joined a group of Buddhist monks after he had been in the US Peace Movement. During a visit in Boston I met him at the entrance of a park amongst his fellow monks. He had his skull shaven and was wearing that typical yellow-brown monk‘s costume. Since my time in Cleveland 1958 we had been connected through wonderful memories from his childhood. We almost didn‘t speak a word together. Mildly smiling he reached me his hand, murmured some sort of prayer and withdrew again. Result? Now war had left its ugly traces with the Days, along with all its consequences, another war, in fact, but not less momentous. The connection of our families on very cordial terms is continuing up to today. Henry Ollendorff, a Jew of Christian faith, expelled from Germany, founder of our exchange program, would, indeed, be very happy about this result.

22

And he would also be very happy about my friendship with Jerry, a councillor in Lillian Taylor Camp near Pittsburgh, who took me with him into his Jewish family, who had broken away from the Germans since the Holocaust. Jerry was not supposed to have a German friend. But, guess what happened, when Jerry introduced me to his mother? She took both of us into her arms. It was in this camp that I got to know quite another side of America, which was unknown to me until then. As a social worker I was in charged emotionally disturbed boys aged 11-14 for a number of weeks. They were kids from underprivileged disturbed families. I profited from this camp work in a twofold way. On one side there was practical work, as for instance to pass on elementary experiences of nature to kids from the city, and on the other hand I started to compare: Here the kids from the Kingsley Backyards in Pittsburgh, who had no idea of how nice an affluent life can be, and there the kids from the extravagant Gates Mills in Cleveland. By the time my image of America got more distinct outlines. Provided with a rich treasure of good memories and experiences I started my trip home on August, 29th, 1958. As far as the American society was concerned it had become evident to me that I had learned to understand much better about the strengths and weaknesses of my own country. In so far those experiences have intensively and effectively influenced my thinking, feeling and acting until today. So, I am very conscious about a change, I am feeling more open and free and I am more critical about political and societal problems – up to today.

Michael Jackson - Heal The World

spoken: Think about the generations and to say we want to make it a better world for our children and our children's children. So that they know it's a better world for them; and think if they can make it a better place. There's a place in your heart And I know that it is love And this place could be much Brighter than tomorrow. And if you really try You'll find there's no need to cry In this place you'll feel There's no hurt or sorrow. There are ways to get there If you care enough for the living Make a little space, make a better place. Chorus: Heal the world Make it a better place For you and for me and the entire human race There are people dying If you care enough for the living Make a better place for You and for me. If you want to know why There's a love that cannot lie Love is strong It only cares for joyful giving. If we try we shall see In this bliss we cannot feel Fear or dread We stop existing and start living Then it feels that always Love's enough for us growing Make a better world, make a better world. Chorus: Heal the world ……………………. Bridge: And the dream we would conceived in

Will reveal a joyful face And the world we once believed in Will shine again in grace Then why do we keep strangling life Wound this earth, crucify it's soul Though it's plain to see, this world is heavenly Be God's glow. We could fly so high Let our spirits never die In my heart I feel You are all my brothers Create a world with no fear Together we'll cry happy tears See the nations turn Their swords into plowshares We could really get there If you cared enough for the living Make a little space to make a better place. Chorus: Heal the world …………..Refrain (2x) There are people dying if you care enough for the living Make a better place for you and for me. There are people dying if you care enough for the living Make a better place for you and for me. You and for me / Make a better place (3x) You and for me / Heal the world we live in You and for me / Save it for our children You and for me / Heal the world we live in You and for me / Save it for our children You and for me / Heal the world we live in You and for me / Save it for our children
