Source Notes
Sy Scholfield quotes "Woher und wohin: Autobiographische Texte" by Christine Brückner (Ullstein, 1995), pp. 11+32: "im Dezember 1921 ... erblickte ich das Licht der Welt; an einem Wintermorgen um 8 Uhr ... Mein Vater schreibt über meine Geburt: >Um fünf Uhr setzten die Wehen ein, um acht Uhr tat das Kind bereits den ersten Schrei.< Keine Klinik, kein Arzt, nur die Hebamme des Dorfes."
Translation: in December 1921 ... I first saw the light of the world on a winter morning at 8 o'clock ... My father wrote of my birth: "At five o'clock labor began, at eight o'clock the child let out the first cry." No hospital, no doctor, only the midwife of the village.
