MIR ABER ZERRISS ES DAS HERZ - MANFRED GAILUS G...

Only seven people came when she was buried in 1977. Elisabeth Schmitz  who studied history and
theology and was secondary-school teacher at a girls school in Berlin until 1938  returned to
her hometown Hanau at the end of the Second World War. Hardly anyone in her hometown knew what
she had accomplished in the resistance against the National Socialist dictatorship. She never
talked about it. Only in 2004 when a briefcase with personal documents was found in a church
cellar  it showed how courageous she had been.In 1935 she wrote an anonymous memorandum to the
church appealing to them to officially object against the anti-Jewish hate campaigns  boycotts
and persecution. Repeatedly  she reminded the leaders of the church of their task. She wrote
letters and requested to act. E. Schmitz took action. She became engaged in a non-Aryan
Christian group  supported illegal citizens and hid Jewish citizens for several years. This
biography tells the life of Elisabeth Schmitz  a protesting Protestant  who upheld her
resistance against the NS-regime without much fuzz about her own person. Angela Merkel called
Elisabeth Schmitz an exception of the rule of keeping silent. The story of E. Schmitz life is a
discovery long-overdue.
