Episode at
seaside
July 1982,
Den
Haan at seaside,
a cheerful picture,
father, son and sea
The father,
tall
and strong
encloses the hand of his son
in a solid, encouraging
grip
The son frolics
playful
over the helmet of Berg
weared by the son
sign of
handicap.
The lens zooms in
large perspective
the horizon enlarges
others come in the picture
four young riders on stately horses
two fresh boys of sixteen
two
cute girls of sixteen
Suddenly the blonde
boy says loudly :
'that walks on the street just like that,
Hitler
should have known what to do with him !'
The sun's frightened,
the son becomes rigid,
the father ...
what do you do as a father
then ?
the father clenches his fists very firmly
turns furiously his
eyes to the blonde scum
and ....keeps silent
Summer 1999 .....
it keeps gnawing on his heart ...
