Laszlo Nussbaum -- Europe without Borders

O remarcabilă poveste despre schimbarea graniţelor şi încăpăţânarea de a fi optimist. Heinrich Nussbaum a trăit în Imperiul Austro-Ungar şi a avut patru fii care au luptat în primul război mondial. Imperiul s-a prăbuşit, Europa a fost divizată, dar Heinrich nu credea în graniţe şi şi-a trimis copiii la universităţi din toată Europa: Sandor a studiat economie la Praga, Joseph a devenit doctor la Berlin, Laszlo a absolvit filosofia la Paris, iar Jeno a studiat matematica la Florenţa. 

În timpul celui  de al doilea război mondial, Sandor a fost ucis într-un detaşament maghiar de muncă forţată, Lazslo a fost ascuns de o familie din Paris, Jeno a fost omorât la Buchenwald, iar, Joseph, doctorul, a reuşit să fugă în America, s-a înrolat în armata americană şi a reintrat în Germania ca medic militar.
Mărturia aparţine fiului lui Jeno, Laszlo, care ne povesteşte că a pierdut în lagărul de la Buchenwald optimismul moştenit de la bunicul său şi abia după revoluţia română din 1989 a început să îl recapete.

A remarkable story of changing borders and stubborn optimism. Heinrich Nussbaum lived in the Austo-Hungarian Empire and had four sons who fought in the First World War. The empire collapsed and Europe was divided, but Heinrich didn't believe in borders and sent his sons to universities all over Europe: Sandor studied economics in Prague, Joseph became a doctor in Berlin, Laszlo received his degree in philosophy in Paris and Jeno, Laszlo's father, studied mathematics in Florence.

When war came, Sandor was killed in a Hungarian forced labor brigade, Laszlo was hidden by a familiy in Paris, Jeno was murdered in Buchenwald and Joseph, the doctor, fled to America, joined the US Army and entered Germany as a medic.

Our story belongs to Jeno's son Laszlo, who tells us that he lost his grandfather's optimism in the Buchenwald concentration camp and that it took until the Romanian revolution of 1989 to get it back.
