by Elisabeth Hoemberg (Translator), Albert K. Hoemberg (Author)
The wartime diaries and letters of a German cultural historian are now available as a companion to the recently translated book "Dein Volk ist Mein Volk" (Aschendorff, 2017). Albert Hoemberg was a young anti-Nazi professor at University of M nster with a Canadian wife when called up to the Luftwaffe in 1940. He served as a map clerk with a ground crew near Paris and was captured and released after thirteen months of imprisonment under the Americans in April, 1946. In 1950 the diaries and letters of Elisabeth and Albert H. were published under the title "Thy People, My People". Elisabeth eventually translated Albert's complete prison journal, written on sheets of toilet paper and only now being published, consisting of his reflections while in the midst of war, occupation and defeat in Paris. He pointed out in 1941 that the Luftwaffe would be no match for the eventual airpower of the West. He foretold the formation of a modern Europe, riven by the Cold War clash between Soviet and American imperialism. Albert miraculously kept his diaries through more than a year of captivity as an Allied prisoner of war, surviving innumerable searches, transfers, and confiscations. He explains that: "All I write has to be written on toilet paper, as prisoners do not receive writing materials. On the other hand, the supply of toilet paper is generous and this product of civilization might otherwise be wasted, our rations having been so drastically reduced that we have little conventional use for it." The everyday sufferings inflicted by the Nazis on the German people are reflected here in the writings of this noted German academic.
Author Biography
Albert Karl Hömberg was born on February 3, 1905 in Witten, the son of the textile merchant Heinrich Hömberg. His father had moved from Fredeburg in Sauerland to Witten before his birth, the youngest of seven children. He studied early settlement history under Professor Walther Vogel, receiving his doctorate at the Friedrich Wilhelm University Berlin in 1936. He married the Canadian Elisabeth Sims in Toronto in 1938. His son Philip was born in 1939, Peter in 1941, and daughter Beata in 1944. Albert was drafted into the Luftwaffe in 1940 as a mapping clerk until his capture in 1945. After 13 months as an Allied prisoner of war he was released and resumed teaching at the University of Muenster, becoming in 1962 the First Chairman of the Historical Commission for Westphalia, which he held until his death in 1963.
