Ernst Papies left his family at the age of 17 and went to Bremen. The first conviction of one month in prison for homosexual contact was given in 1932. The second conviction after tightening the legislation by the National Socialists resulted in a year in prison in 1934. In 1936 he was sentenced to three years in prison, which was carried out with forced labor in the moor camp in Emsland . After serving, he returned to Alder sick. There he was denounced and arrested on June 25, 1939 and deported to the Buchenwald concentration camp , where, as an alleged “professional criminal” and “175er”, he had to do hard labor in the quarry under grueling conditions. On April 15, 1940, he was taken to the Mauthausen concentration camp near Linz, where he was also employed in the work detachment of the " Rosa-Winkel prisoners " in the quarry. On December 4, 1944, he was taken to a satellite camp of Auschwitz and shortly before the extermination camp was liberated, back to Mauthausen. More months of hard labor followed, and Mauthausen was liberated by the Americans on May 5, 1945. After the end of the war, Papies tried several times to seek redress and compensation for the injustice suffered, but was unsuccessful. He died in 1997 at the age of 88 in Konstanz . The sponsorship for the 2015 laid stumbling block has the native of Gelsenkirchen MEP Greens Terry Reintke taken. |
