Life

Hildegard Mischke grew up in East Prussia. Her two brothers died in World War II. In 1945 she was one of 250,000 women and girls who were arrested by the Red Army and deported to Gulags from East Prussia and Pomerania . She had to do three and a half years of forced labor in the 6437 forced labor camp in Schadrinsk before she could return to Germany. She lived in Berlin since 1950. There she married Heinz Rauschenbach in the same year , with whom she had a son. She wrote eight books, many short stories and essays, articles for the print media, 100 poems and 50 songs, some in Low Prussian . Songs she sang from East Prussia are preserved on records .

On the 2001 Memorial Day , she gave a commemorative speech in the Reichstag building for people who died in the wars. In the same year she initiated the memorial for the German women and girls kidnapped in World War II , which the Volksbund Deutsche Kriegsgräberfürsorge erected at the Lilienthalstrasse cemetery (Berlin) . She received a Federal Order of Merit for her great contribution to understanding between the Russian and German people . In June 2010 , N. Dejnova published an obituary in the Schadrinsk Gans , a Russian literary newspaper, entitled “Forgive yes, never forget” .

“It was my inner compulsion to write everything down. I didn't exaggerate or gloss over anything. I am not a writer and I have told everything in simple words that everyone knows. I have also not carried out any research and hope that my book does not contain any tendency statements. My deep gratitude goes to those Russian people who were able to put themselves in our position and who helped us even though they only had the bare essentials for life. This book is intended to show people, including my son, to whom I dedicate it, that regardless of all the difficulties one may encounter in life, one can forgive and at the same time remain an optimist. "
