- Summary
- Memoirs of a Jewish novelist, poet, psychoanalyst, and child psychologist who was born in Freienwalde an der Oder in 1909. Pp. 81-108 deal with his experiences after Hitler's rise to power. He emigrated to the Netherlands with his non-Jewish wife in 1936, mainly to secure the family's financial future. In Germany he had witnessed the negative effect of bankruptcy, caused by the boycott of Jewish businesses, on his father's health. In 1939 he brought his parents to the Netherlands. However, while Keilson himself went into hiding in 1943, his parents failed to do so and were deported. In a discussion held in 2009 with Heinrich Detering (pp. 109-138), Keilson, then 100 years old, shares his pain and guilt over having been unable to rescue his parents. His sister emigrated to Palestine in 1935. Keilson remained in the Netherlands after the war; he felt that he would not succeed as a psychoanalyst in Germany due to German guilt over the Holocaust.
