Deception because the police has not yet been able to find the true murderers? Revenge? She must have been aware of the consequences of her doing so. I doubt Benda would have appreciated her behaviour which will make his diary an instrument against his friend Zörgiebel who still misses him.Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02090137692311200508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802694069644997590.post-1752270908894929112021-04-20T21:43:21.137-07:002021-04-20T21:43:21.137-07:00In my eyes this detail shows that origin (Jewish-n...In my eyes this detail shows that origin (Jewish-non Jewish) doesn't play a major role unless abused by certain groups. Benda didn't convert to catholizism while his wife (and children) are Catholics; he tells Gereon in front of the church: "It isn't my association/club." (Ist nicht mein Verein.) "Verein", this word shows humor and ease here, as it is normally used for sport clubs etc. - shows a superior attitude.Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02090137692311200508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802694069644997590.post-88151014338921898752021-04-18T06:11:52.038-07:002021-04-18T06:11:52.038-07:00While being Jewish, he invites Gereon to the catho...While being Jewish, he invites Gereon to the catholic church where he plays the organ.A true ecumenical man.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17301141240643000361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7802694069644997590.post-90874347430098095262021-04-17T23:55:08.419-07:002021-04-17T23:55:08.419-07:00Yes!!

But I appreciate that he doesn't seem entirely perfect and has been given a black spot, too: When the events around May 1st put the police in a bad light, it was his idea to present an injured policeman as a fake victim of the Communists. - And I love Benda for bringing home sausages which the doctor has forbidden him to eat when his wife is not home and for sharing a special meal with Greta.Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02090137692311200508noreply@blogger.com
