Increasing difficulties at school. Ambivalence about his heritage. Establishment of a new subject on races (“Rassenlehre”) at school in 1936, which resulted in more exposure to anti-Semitism. Friendship and support in the circle of his Christian friends, who rejected the Nazi ideology. Return of his father to Berlin in 1937 due to his difficulties to make a living. Increasing war propaganda and annexation of Austria in March of 1938. Recollections of the terror of the Kristallnacht. Fervent attempts of his father to get a permit for the USA.

Suspension from school in September of 1942. In February of 1943 his father was arrested by the Gestapo and interned at Rosenstrasse together with other men of mixed marriages. Due to the intervention of their Gentile wives, the group of Jewish men were released. Air raids. In 1944 Horst was assigned to work in a front labour unit (O.T.).
