What a lovely way to remember someone, by including their artwork. I was deeply moved by both the Brauer memorials.

I enjoyed reading the memorials which you have left for your parents, and can appreciate your love for the south of Germany. I recently was able to visit relatives of mine in Oberstdorf, and fell irretrievably in love with the land and the people. Thank you for sharing a bit of yourself and the lives of your parents with this American.

I would like to leave flowers at my mother’s and father’s grave, where she is joined by my youngest brother Justus, who has always been close to you and now rests near your place of rest. He was your youngest child and needed you most. Maybe for this reason, God decided to keep him close to you. Bernt Brauer

I am writing this memoir because my thoughts are with you Mom. If you were with us now, you would be 100 years of age.Johanna Bräuer

Johanna Bräuer-Delbrück, daughter of Hans and Karoline Delbrück, was born in Berlin in 1896 and married my father, Ernst Wasa Bräuer, on 28 August 1924.

I wish I could maintain a contact with you, to keep alive the vivid memories of your impact on my life. Perhaps I can do this by sharing my memories in this seemingly unconventional way. Because I cannot visit your grave today, I use this means to tell you how much you are loved.

I miss you, and think often and proud of your love for us, your eight children. You have lived through a most tumultuous century. But no matter how awesome the challenges, you looked for the ray of hope and never showed your pain. You found strength within to assure us, your children, that there is beauty and excitement in life, which we must seek. You have given us an appreciation for life by which we found inner strength and courage to carry on, and I thank you.

You have stood by my father during the years of war. His spirit rests in Voigtsdorf im Riesengebirge, where he was murdered on 21 May, 1946. I like to believe that he is now at peace.

Johanna BräuerIn memory of your life, you have left us much heritage, including your many paintings which hold special meaning to each of us. Your memoirs will continue to be the foundation of our strength as we go our own ways. I know now that I was loved by you, and that I can accept myself. Please know that I am grateful for all you have done, and that you are loved by your son,

Bernt

On the 25th of May, I would like to leave a Bouquet of royal blue Gentian flowers at my fathers Grave Site, As these were his favored Mountain Flowers from his beloved home in Silesia, the Haardthof. I have planted these flowers here in Canada in memory of him as my thoughts drift back in time when he was murdered by Polish robbers. I have recalled it the ‘Shadows of my Youth’ to gain a more objective view of those days.

By recalling the events it helped me see the Demons of that time in a prospective that gave me understanding and empathy for those murderers and the pain they had endured during World War 2.

Thank You, Bernt Wasa Brauer

What a beautiful way to remember your father and mother! You tell the story so well. In my mind’s eye I could see the violets growing by that wall and the horse’s breath in the cold air as he pulled the sled away. They must have been very wonderful people.
Best Regards;

To Bernt V. Brauer:
Your memories of your father and his homeland are most touching. My parents too came from that region of Selesia….the town was named Haselbach (it is now known as Leszczyniec). It was located southeast of Bad Warmbrunn (maybe 20km or so, near Schmiedeberg). In your travels to Hirschberg, had you ever had occassion to visit Haselbach? My mother always talked of her childhood in that beautiful area and her adventures in “climbing the Schneekoppe”….
Regards and Best Wishes,

Dear Mr. Brauer,

You do not know me, but after reading the memorial you posted for your father and mother at the online cemetery page, I felt as though you had reached out and touched a part of me. I felt the need to thank you for allowing me to see just a small part of your parents’ lives. It sounds as if both were very special people and the love felt for them was plain to see.

I have no way of knowing if you are a writer by profession or if perhaps you write as a hobby, but you have a special relationship with words that allows others to feel as if they have walked the path with you, listening to the music provided by a brook heard but unseen.

Thank you,
Alice

Ernst Wasa Bräuer, Dr. Philosophy and Physics, was my Father. He was born on the 24th day of May, 1889 in Breslau. He resided for a time in Berlin but he was lured back to his mountains in Selesia, where he built a home for his family.

After 50 years I returned to our homestead and your place of rest. I remembered the mountains, rivers and the woods around our house, the Haardthof. Little remains of the place in which I grew up. The forest has over grown everything. There were still remnants of the little stone wall in front of our houses, where cushions of fragrant violets filled the air under the Linden tree. I could touch them. My memories of my childhood, though seemingly from another century sprang alive in the splashing of the little mountain brook we called “Flössel”. The orchard, once overflowing with blossoms, now lay stark in the sun with black broken branches reaching out as empty silhouettes. The ferns you planted in stone coves near the little pond quitely stood as if in waiting. The weeping birches along the field-path, once standing proud now looked grotesque. We often passed by there on our way to school to catch the train in Reibnitz, on our way to Hirschberg.

My heart started to weep as we approached the village from Bad Warmbrunn. The winding road, lined with the birches you planted, was as if you held out your hand to me. I remember the last time I spoke with you, in a horse drawn sled on a crystal clear Sunday in 1945. I leaned back and looked at the deep blue sky as the hoar-frost slowly fell in prismic bursts of color. The chimes on the harness rang rythmic into the glittering sunshine mixing with the hushed trot of the horse. I did not know then that this would be one of the last living memories with you.

When I returned after the flight from the Russian front a year later, it was a day after your burial. I did not have the chance to say goodbye to you. With my sisters Veronica and Kathrine, I stayed for another year. We tried to keep your dream alive, but we were evacuated in May 1947.

When I returned in 1993, there was little physical evidence that this had ever been our home. Only one building was still standing, it was occupied by a young Polish family who had not been born at the time of the occupation.

But your dream was still there. Your spirit spoke through each memory. Your dream has affected my life in ways I had not known. You have given me so much, I love you Dad and I miss you.

Bernt
