‘Fra le pareti bianche della mensa, quel giorno diventai un’assaggiatrice di Hitler. Era l’autunno del ’43, avevo ventisei anni, cinquanta ore di viaggio, settecento chilometri addosso. Da Berlino ero venuta nella Prussia orientale, il luogo dov’era nato Gregor. E Gregor non c’era. Per sfuggire alla guerra, da una settimana mi ero trasferita a Gross-Partsch.’
