Georg Iggers in front of students of the Graf-Stauffenberg-Gymnasium Osnabrück, 2005
“Then there were things that upset me, of course. I loved to go swimming, there was a big swimming pool that still exists. 6 weeks ago I was in Hamburg and I went back to school, and one day there was a sign “Jews are not allowed to use the swimming pool.” And then more and more stores, “Jews not wanted.” And movie theaters, “Jews not wanted.” That was not yet the Holocaust. What happened then is that more and more Jews were fired from their jobs. That started right in April 33. And Jews were no longer allowed to study. On the other hand, the children at school accepted me completely. Once a new student came from Flensburg, and he made such anti-Jewish remarks, and the children told him to shut up.”
