In 1937 arrest of the leading party activists began and the authorities suspected every person to be an 'enemy of the people' [19]. My father was expelled from the party and demoted. My mother destroyed all photographs including those where my father was photographed with German communists. The most difficult thing for my father was that he was expelled from the party because his faith and ideals were destroyed. He never spoke about this period of his life to my sister or me.
