Le t\u00e9moignage de la s\u0153ur.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

Je suis n\u00e9e en 1946 \u00e0 Offenbourg.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Apr\u00e8s la guerre, en mai 1945, notre r\u00e9gion ainsi que la ville d\u2019Offenbourg se trouvaient dans <\/span><\/span><\/span>la zone d\u2019occupation fran\u00e7aise. Les administrations et les entreprises \u00e9taient alors occup\u00e9es et <\/span><\/span><\/span>contr\u00f4l\u00e9es par des commissaires et des militaires fran\u00e7ais.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
A cette \u00e9poque, ma m\u00e8re travaillait \u00e0 l\u2019entreprise Burda o\u00f9 elle fit la connaissance de mon <\/span><\/span><\/span>p\u00e8re qui lui-m\u00eame \u00e9tait en fonction en tant que commissaire dans cette entreprise. Il \u00e9tait <\/span><\/span><\/span>responsable du contr\u00f4le des activit\u00e9s de l\u2019entreprise Burda o\u00f9 il travaillait \u00e9troitement avec le <\/span><\/span><\/span>S\u00e9nateur Dr. Franz Burda. L’entreprise Burda a imprim\u00e9 les premi\u00e8res cartes g\u00e9ographiques et les <\/span><\/span><\/span>premiers timbres de l\u2019apr\u00e8s-guerre. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Il \u00e9tait alors interdit aux Allemands d\u2019entrer en contact avec les occupants fran\u00e7ais. C\u2019est <\/span><\/span><\/span>pourquoi leur amour dut rester secret. Ainsi ma m\u00e8re d\u00e9missionna de son poste chez Burda <\/span><\/span><\/span>lorsqu\u2019elle apprit qu\u2019elle attendait un enfant.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Mon p\u00e8re se r\u00e9jouissait d\u2019avoir bient\u00f4t un enfant, me raconta ma m\u00e8re bien plus tard. Tous <\/span><\/span><\/span>deux voulaient se marier et ma m\u00e8re \u00e9tait pr\u00eate \u00e0 partir en France avec lui. Et \u00e0 chaque fois <\/span><\/span><\/span>qu\u2019il rentrait de permission, elle lui demandait s\u2019il avait parl\u00e9 \u00e0 ses parents. Il faisait non de la <\/span><\/span><\/span>t\u00eate en disant que l\u2019occasion ne s\u2019\u00e9tait pas pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Mon p\u00e8re \u00e9tait un homme de foi. Il allait r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9glise. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Il a d\u00fb m\u2019aimer vraiment beaucoup. J\u2019ai toute une quantit\u00e9 de photos de l\u2019\u00e9poque o\u00f9 j\u2019\u00e9tais <\/span><\/span><\/span>b\u00e9b\u00e9 et qu\u2019il a faites avec son appareil photo. L\u2019hiver 1946 fut tr\u00e8s rude, les gens avaient tr\u00e8s <\/span><\/span><\/span>peu \u00e0 manger et j\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s malade. Mon p\u00e8re nous procurait du lait en poudre et d\u2019autres <\/span><\/span><\/span>biens de premi\u00e8re n\u00e9cessit\u00e9. M\u00eame mon landau \u00e9tait de lui.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Le 20\/02\/1947, il se rendit \u00e0 l\u2019Office des Int\u00e9r\u00eats Fran\u00e7ais <\/em><\/span>de Friburg en Brisgau pour me <\/span><\/span><\/span>reconna\u00eetre en tant que sa fille et signer une d\u00e9claration au registre de l\u2019\u00e9tat civil.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Au milieu de l\u2019ann\u00e9e 1947, il annon\u00e7a \u00e0 ma m\u00e8re qu\u2019il allait \u00eatre mut\u00e9. Ma m\u00e8re n\u2019aurait <\/span><\/span><\/span>jamais pu croire qu\u2019il l\u2019abandonnerait avec son enfant. Avoir un enfant hors mariage \u00e0 cette <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9poque \u00e9tait une v\u00e9ritable honte.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Elle lui dit alors que s\u2019il partait, qu\u2019il n\u2019aurait plus aucun droit sur moi.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Et il retourna en France.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
J\u2019ai v\u00e9cu chez mes grands-parents avec ma m\u00e8re jusqu\u2019\u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 4 ans. A 4 ans, on me dit <\/span><\/span><\/span>que, dor\u00e9navant, on ne m\u2019appellerait plus par mon premier pr\u00e9nom, qui est fran\u00e7ais, mais par <\/span><\/span><\/span>mon deuxi\u00e8me car il plaisait mieux. C\u2019est ainsi qu\u2019alors plus rien ne rappela alors mes <\/span><\/span><\/span>origines fran\u00e7aises.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Ma m\u00e8re se maria en ao\u00fbt 1950 et on emm\u00e9nagea dans un petit appartement de l\u2019entreprise o\u00f9 <\/span><\/span><\/span>elle travaillait tout pr\u00e8s d\u2019ici. Ma m\u00e8re travaillait toute la journ\u00e9e pour soutenir la famille. Le <\/span><\/span><\/span>mari de ma m\u00e8re (qui \u00e9tait devenu mon papa) \u00e9tait bon avec moi et je dois avouer que j\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 <\/span><\/span><\/span>g\u00e2t\u00e9e.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
A l\u2019\u00e2ge de 9 ans, je d\u00e9couvris des papiers administratifs est des actes officiels dans la table de <\/span><\/span><\/span>nuit de ma m\u00e8re et je les lus, \u00e0 maintes reprises, mais toujours en secret. Je ne comprenais <\/span><\/span><\/span>plus rien. Mon p\u00e8re n\u2019\u00e9tait donc pas mon p\u00e8re mais il m\u2019avait adopt\u00e9e. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Selon un autre document du registre de l\u2019\u00e9tat civil de Fribourg en Brisgau, j\u2019\u00e9tais la fille d\u2019un <\/span><\/span><\/span>Fran\u00e7ais.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
J\u2019\u00e9tais profond\u00e9ment troubl\u00e9e, ne parlant \u00e0 personne de ce secret. Un jour, alors que je voulais <\/span><\/span><\/span>relire une fois de plus tous ces papiers, ils avaient disparu. Et il fallut que je vive, tant bien <\/span><\/span><\/span>que mal, enti\u00e8rement seule avec ces faits sans avoir qui que soit pour r\u00e9pondre aux questions <\/span><\/span><\/span>que je me posais, sans m\u00eame pouvoir en parler \u00e0 personne.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Mais cela me pr\u00e9occupait sans cesse : pourquoi et pour quelle raison ? Qui \u00e9tait donc mon <\/span><\/span><\/span>p\u00e8re ? Pourquoi avait-il abandonn\u00e9 non seulement ma m\u00e8re mais moi aussi ? Je n\u2019osais pas <\/span><\/span><\/span>poser de question et il ne pouvait donc pas y avoir de r\u00e9ponse. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Pendant une colonie de vacances de la Jeunesse catholique un pr\u00eatre me conseilla de <\/span><\/span><\/span>m\u2019adresser \u00e0 mes parents. Lui r\u00e9pondant que je n\u2019osais pas, il me conseilla d\u2019\u00e9crire \u00e0 la Croix <\/span><\/span><\/span>Rouge. Ce devait \u00eatre vers 1958. J\u2019\u00e9crivis de suite au Service des Recherches de la Croix <\/span><\/span><\/span>Rouge mais ne re\u00e7us jamais de r\u00e9ponse. Malheureusement je n\u2019ai pas appris la langue <\/span><\/span><\/span>fran\u00e7aise. C\u2019est pourquoi je n\u2019ai pas eu le courage de me mettre \u00e0 sa recherche.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Les ann\u00e9es pass\u00e8rent et lorsque j\u2019\u00e9tais adolescente mon p\u00e8re me surveillait s\u00e9v\u00e8rement. Je <\/span><\/span><\/span>devais toujours rentrer \u00e0 l\u2019heure pile \u00e0 la maison et il fallait que je vienne frapper \u00e0 la porte de <\/span><\/span><\/span>la chambre \u00e0 coucher de mes parents lorsque je rentrais du cours de danse. <\/span><\/span><\/span>J\u2019\u00e9tais alors tr\u00e8s en col\u00e8re apr\u00e8s lui et pensais : \u00ab Il n\u2019a rien \u00e0 me dire. Il n\u2019est pas mon vrai <\/span><\/span><\/span>p\u00e8re. \u00bb. Aujourd\u2019hui, je vois les choses autrement. Ma m\u00e8re \u00e9tait toujours de mon c\u00f4t\u00e9 et elle <\/span><\/span><\/span>intervenait pour nous calmer.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
A cette \u00e9poque, lorsque je remarquais qu\u2019un homme m\u2019observait, je me disais toujours que <\/span><\/span><\/span>c\u2019\u00e9tait peut-\u00eatre mon p\u00e8re. L\u2019envie de le rencontrer ne me quittait jamais.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
J\u2019ai rencontr\u00e9 mon mari \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 17 ans et c\u2019est \u00e0 lui que, pour la premi\u00e8re fois, je racontai <\/span><\/span><\/span>mon histoire. Nous nous sommes mari\u00e9s en 1966 et notre fille, \u00e0 qui nous avons donn\u00e9 un <\/span><\/span><\/span>pr\u00e9nom fran\u00e7ais, est venue au monde deux ans plus tard. <\/span><\/span><\/span>A ce moment-l\u00e0, je n\u2019\u00e9tais pas en bonne sant\u00e9. Un d\u00e9s\u00e9quilibre hormonal m\u2019avait rendue <\/span><\/span><\/span>malade et le secret de famille continuait de peser sur ma conscience.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Je repris le travail apr\u00e8s \u00eatre rest\u00e9e trois ans \u00e0 la maison pour m\u2019occuper de ma fille. C\u2019est <\/span><\/span><\/span>l\u2019\u00e9poque o\u00f9 nous avons commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 partir en vacances et o\u00f9 nous avons entrepris le projet de <\/span><\/span><\/span>construire une maison. Malheureusement, \u00e0 cette \u00e9poque-l\u00e0, mon p\u00e8re, mon p\u00e8re adoptif, est <\/span><\/span><\/span>d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 51 ans.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Depuis ma plus tendre enfance j\u2019ai toujours eu une tr\u00e8s bonne relation avec ma grand-m\u00e8re et <\/span><\/span><\/span>c\u2019est elle qui, dans les ann\u00e9es 70, m\u2019a donn\u00e9 une enveloppe avec quatre photos de mon p\u00e8re. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Mais elle me demanda de ne pas les montrer \u00e0 ma m\u00e8re car elle avait d\u00e9truit toutes les photos <\/span><\/span><\/span>lorsqu\u2019il l\u2019avait quitt\u00e9e. Ceci me toucha profond\u00e9ment et je cherchai \u00e0 reconna\u00eetre des airs de <\/span><\/span><\/span>famille entre lui et moi.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Un chiropraticien, \u00e0 qui j\u2019ai racont\u00e9 mon histoire, me conseilla vivement d\u2019en parler \u00e0 ma <\/span><\/span><\/span>m\u00e8re. Je lui en ai alors parl\u00e9, et souvent reparl\u00e9. Elle s\u2019approchait alors de ses 80 ans. Et elle <\/span><\/span><\/span>me raconta l\u2019histoire de sa belle mais malheureuse histoire d\u2019amour.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Toute sa vie ma m\u00e8re a gard\u00e9 sa joie de vivre, son humour et son admirable \u00e9nergie.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Elle m\u2019a raconta que, dans les ann\u00e9es 80, alors qu\u2019elle \u00e9tait en voyage en France avec son <\/span><\/span><\/span>compagnon, qu\u2019ils s\u2019\u00e9taient arr\u00eat\u00e9s dans la ville natale de mon p\u00e8re. Son compagnon, un <\/span><\/span><\/span>Fran\u00e7ais originaire de Strasbourg, avait appel\u00e9 par t\u00e9l\u00e9phone plusieurs familles du m\u00eame nom <\/span><\/span><\/span>que mon p\u00e8re sans obtenir de renseignement et on lui avait m\u00eame raccroch\u00e9 au nez. Ils ont <\/span><\/span><\/span>alors abandonn\u00e9. Et ce fut la seule recherche que ma m\u00e8re entreprit.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Quelque temps avant sa mort, elle me dit qu\u2019elle r\u00eavait de lui et qu\u2019elle le voyait devant elle.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Ma m\u00e8re est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9e en d\u00e9cembre 2009 peu avant ses 87 ans.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Quelques jours avant No\u00ebl 2010, nous \u00e9tions all\u00e9s chercher des produits fins \u00e0 Strasbourg <\/span><\/span><\/span>avec nos amis B\u00e9atrice et Helmut et passions ensemble une soir\u00e9e conviviale, \u00e0 table avec la <\/span><\/span><\/span>baguette fra\u00eeche, le fromage et le vin rapport\u00e9s de Strasbourg, au moment o\u00f9 B\u00e9atrice, mon <\/span><\/span><\/span>amie de l\u2019\u00e9cole primaire, commen\u00e7a \u00e0 nous raconter l\u2019histoire de sa famille et \u00e9voqua <\/span><\/span><\/span>l\u2019organisation Coeurs sans Fronti\u00e8res.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Ce soir-l\u00e0, j\u2019ai fait un gros effort sur moi-m\u00eame et alors, pour la premi\u00e8re fois, j\u2019ai parl\u00e9 de <\/span><\/span><\/span>mon histoire. Et je me suis dit : \u00ab C\u2019est maintenant ou jamais. Maintenant, je veux savoir. \u00bb<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Je suis donc devenue membre de Coeurs sans Fronti\u00e8res et les contacts avec Chantal ont <\/span><\/span><\/span>commenc\u00e9.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
\u00c9tant donn\u00e9 que j\u2019\u00e9tais en possession de tous les documents concernant mon p\u00e8re et que les <\/span><\/span><\/span>services des \u00e9tats civils de sa ville natale, ainsi que de la ville dans laquelle il a passait la plus <\/span><\/span><\/span>grande partie de sa vie, ont r\u00e9agi tr\u00e8s vite, j\u2019ai rapidement appris la triste nouvelle que mon <\/span><\/span><\/span>p\u00e8re \u00e9tait d\u00e9j\u00e0 d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9, en 2003. Et peu de temps apr\u00e8s, j\u2019ai appris que son \u00e9pouse \u00e9tait <\/span><\/span><\/span>d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9e elle aussi, il y avait alors environ un an.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
J\u2019ai appris ensuite que mon p\u00e8re avait quatre enfants, ce fut une v\u00e9ritable surprise. Moi, la <\/span><\/span><\/span>fille unique, je me retrouvais avec quatre fr\u00e8res et soeurs !<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Gr\u00e2ce aux recherches inlassables de Chantal, \u00e0 qui je dois toute ma reconnaissance, j\u2019ai <\/span><\/span><\/span>finalement appris le nom de mes fr\u00e8res et soeurs.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Lors d\u2019une visite chez Franck (un ancien membre de Coeurs sans Fronti\u00e8res) \u00e0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Strasbourg, nous avons \u00e9crit \u00e0 sept personnes du m\u00eame nom que mon plus jeune fr\u00e8re, que <\/span><\/span><\/span>Franck avait trouv\u00e9s en faisant des recherches sur Internet, pour leur demander s\u2019ils <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9taient parents avec mon p\u00e8re. Mon fr\u00e8re r\u00e9pondit aussit\u00f4t par e-mail. Il voulait savoir <\/span><\/span><\/span>pourquoi et pour qui nous faisions ces recherches. Ce fut, comme on dit, l\u2019\u00e9pingle dans la <\/span><\/span><\/span>botte de foin. Bref, j\u2019ai eu \u00e9norm\u00e9ment de chance. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Mon plus jeune fr\u00e8re, vit depuis 30 ans en Allemagne, une chance inou\u00efe pour moi. 15 jours <\/span><\/span><\/span>apr\u00e8s le premier contact par t\u00e9l\u00e9phone en juin 2011, il est venu le premier \u00e0 Offenbourg pour <\/span><\/span><\/span>me rencontrer et faire connaissance de ma famille.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Il m\u2019a apport\u00e9 des quantit\u00e9s impressionnantes de documents : l\u2019arbre g\u00e9n\u00e9alogique de la <\/span><\/span><\/span>famille, des photos et par-dessus tout la biographie de notre p\u00e8re.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Ce qui m\u2019a le plus \u00e9poustoufl\u00e9e, c\u2019est lorsqu\u2019il m\u2019a dit que, juste apr\u00e8s la mort de notre p\u00e8re, <\/span><\/span><\/span>il avait \u00e9crit \u00e0 l\u2019entreprise Burda pour savoir si quelqu\u2019un y avait connu son p\u00e8re et savait <\/span><\/span><\/span>peut-\u00eatre qu\u2019il avait un enfant ill\u00e9gitime.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Depuis nous, les cinq fr\u00e8res et soeurs ainsi que nos familles respectives, nous avons des <\/span><\/span><\/span>relations tr\u00e8s \u00e9troites. Nous sommes d\u00e9j\u00e0 all\u00e9s deux fois sur la tombe de notre p\u00e8re, ce qui m\u2019a <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9norm\u00e9ment touch\u00e9e. J\u2019ai m\u00eame connu un certain r\u00e9confort par rapport \u00e0 l\u2019image que je me <\/span><\/span><\/span>faisais de mon p\u00e8re car, d\u00e8s les premi\u00e8res rencontres, mes fr\u00e8res et soeurs parlaient tous de <\/span><\/span><\/span>leur p\u00e8re avec beaucoup d\u2019amour et de respect.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Jusqu\u2019\u00e0 maintenant, nous nous sommes rencontr\u00e9s environ quatre fois par an et avons m\u00eame <\/span><\/span><\/span>f\u00eat\u00e9 No\u00ebl dans les Vosges et P\u00e2ques \u00e0 Lyon. Nous \u00e9tions presque tous pr\u00e9sents \u00e0 chaque <\/span><\/span><\/span>rencontre.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
En novembre 2011, nous sommes all\u00e9s \u00e0 Paris chez mon fr\u00e8re et avons profit\u00e9 de l\u2019occasion <\/span><\/span><\/span>pour aller rendre visite aux deux soeurs de mon p\u00e8re, qui sont donc mes tantes. Ce sont des <\/span><\/span><\/span>femmes de 93 et 83 ans. Elles m\u2019ont re\u00e7ue tr\u00e8s gentiment, elles avaient m\u00eame pr\u00e9par\u00e9 le <\/span><\/span><\/span>g\u00e2teau pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 de mon p\u00e8re et nous avons bu le Champagne ensemble. Nous avons beaucoup <\/span><\/span><\/span>parl\u00e9 de la famille et de la situation en France pendant et apr\u00e8s la guerre.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Je ne leur ai pas demand\u00e9 si elles avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 au courant de mon existence et elles sont rest\u00e9es <\/span><\/span><\/span>elles-m\u00eames tr\u00e8s discr\u00e8tes. Depuis nous nous \u00e9crivons r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement \u00e0 nos anniversaires et <\/span><\/span><\/span>pour les f\u00eates et elles prennent part avec beaucoup d\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat \u00e0 notre nouvelle vie de famille.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Aujourd\u2019hui, je suis combl\u00e9e. Maintenant je connais mes origines et j\u2019ai trouv\u00e9 une grande <\/span><\/span><\/span>famille tr\u00e8s adorable.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n

Dans notre histoire, il y a eu deux personnes qui, bien avant que Coeurs sans Fronti\u00e8res ne puisse <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9tablir le contact entre notre soeur allemande et moi, nous ont appris que notre p\u00e8re avait sans doute <\/span><\/span><\/span>une fille en Allemagne. Il y eu tout d’abord notre m\u00e8re, \u00e0 qui notre p\u00e8re avait d\u00fb se confier, et qui <\/span><\/span><\/span>souffrait de l’existence d’une autre femme et d’une fille ill\u00e9gitime dans le pass\u00e9 de son mari.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n
Et c’est ainsi que, lors de l’absence de notre p\u00e8re parti en voyage d’affaires en Allemagne, notre <\/span><\/span><\/span>m\u00e8re, probablement dans un moment de jalousie et de col\u00e8re, parla de notre demi-soeur \u00e0 un de mes <\/span><\/span><\/span>fr\u00e8res. Il avait alors 18 ans. Moi, j\u2019en avais 12.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n

Un soir, lors d\u2019une <\/span><\/span><\/span>soir\u00e9e tr\u00e8s conviviale chez ma soeur, il pronon\u00e7a la phrase suivante : \u00ab Tu n\u2019es pas la seule fille de <\/span><\/span><\/span>ton p\u00e8re \u00bb.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/dt>\n

Le t\u00e9moignage de la s\u0153ur.<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/h2>

Je suis n\u00e9e en 1946 \u00e0 Offenbourg.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Apr\u00e8s la guerre, en mai 1945, notre r\u00e9gion ainsi que la ville d\u2019Offenbourg se trouvaient dans <\/span><\/span><\/span>la zone d\u2019occupation fran\u00e7aise. Les administrations et les entreprises \u00e9taient alors occup\u00e9es et <\/span><\/span><\/span>contr\u00f4l\u00e9es par des commissaires et des militaires fran\u00e7ais.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

A cette \u00e9poque, ma m\u00e8re travaillait \u00e0 l\u2019entreprise Burda o\u00f9 elle fit la connaissance de mon <\/span><\/span><\/span>p\u00e8re qui lui-m\u00eame \u00e9tait en fonction en tant que commissaire dans cette entreprise. Il \u00e9tait <\/span><\/span><\/span>responsable du contr\u00f4le des activit\u00e9s de l\u2019entreprise Burda o\u00f9 il travaillait \u00e9troitement avec le <\/span><\/span><\/span>S\u00e9nateur Dr. Franz Burda. L'entreprise Burda a imprim\u00e9 les premi\u00e8res cartes g\u00e9ographiques et les <\/span><\/span><\/span>premiers timbres de l\u2019apr\u00e8s-guerre. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Il \u00e9tait alors interdit aux Allemands d\u2019entrer en contact avec les occupants fran\u00e7ais. C\u2019est <\/span><\/span><\/span>pourquoi leur amour dut rester secret. Ainsi ma m\u00e8re d\u00e9missionna de son poste chez Burda <\/span><\/span><\/span>lorsqu\u2019elle apprit qu\u2019elle attendait un enfant.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Mon p\u00e8re se r\u00e9jouissait d\u2019avoir bient\u00f4t un enfant, me raconta ma m\u00e8re bien plus tard. Tous <\/span><\/span><\/span>deux voulaient se marier et ma m\u00e8re \u00e9tait pr\u00eate \u00e0 partir en France avec lui. Et \u00e0 chaque fois <\/span><\/span><\/span>qu\u2019il rentrait de permission, elle lui demandait s\u2019il avait parl\u00e9 \u00e0 ses parents. Il faisait non de la <\/span><\/span><\/span>t\u00eate en disant que l\u2019occasion ne s\u2019\u00e9tait pas pr\u00e9sent\u00e9e.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Mon p\u00e8re \u00e9tait un homme de foi. Il allait r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9glise. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Il a d\u00fb m\u2019aimer vraiment beaucoup. J\u2019ai toute une quantit\u00e9 de photos de l\u2019\u00e9poque o\u00f9 j\u2019\u00e9tais <\/span><\/span><\/span>b\u00e9b\u00e9 et qu\u2019il a faites avec son appareil photo. L\u2019hiver 1946 fut tr\u00e8s rude, les gens avaient tr\u00e8s <\/span><\/span><\/span>peu \u00e0 manger et j\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s malade. Mon p\u00e8re nous procurait du lait en poudre et d\u2019autres <\/span><\/span><\/span>biens de premi\u00e8re n\u00e9cessit\u00e9. M\u00eame mon landau \u00e9tait de lui.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Le 20\/02\/1947, il se rendit \u00e0 l\u2019Office des Int\u00e9r\u00eats Fran\u00e7ais <\/em><\/span>de Friburg en Brisgau pour me <\/span><\/span><\/span>reconna\u00eetre en tant que sa fille et signer une d\u00e9claration au registre de l\u2019\u00e9tat civil.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Au milieu de l\u2019ann\u00e9e 1947, il annon\u00e7a \u00e0 ma m\u00e8re qu\u2019il allait \u00eatre mut\u00e9. Ma m\u00e8re n\u2019aurait <\/span><\/span><\/span>jamais pu croire qu\u2019il l\u2019abandonnerait avec son enfant. Avoir un enfant hors mariage \u00e0 cette <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9poque \u00e9tait une v\u00e9ritable honte.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Elle lui dit alors que s\u2019il partait, qu\u2019il n\u2019aurait plus aucun droit sur moi.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Et il retourna en France.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

J\u2019ai v\u00e9cu chez mes grands-parents avec ma m\u00e8re jusqu\u2019\u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 4 ans. A 4 ans, on me dit <\/span><\/span><\/span>que, dor\u00e9navant, on ne m\u2019appellerait plus par mon premier pr\u00e9nom, qui est fran\u00e7ais, mais par <\/span><\/span><\/span>mon deuxi\u00e8me car il plaisait mieux. C\u2019est ainsi qu\u2019alors plus rien ne rappela alors mes <\/span><\/span><\/span>origines fran\u00e7aises.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Ma m\u00e8re se maria en ao\u00fbt 1950 et on emm\u00e9nagea dans un petit appartement de l\u2019entreprise o\u00f9 <\/span><\/span><\/span>elle travaillait tout pr\u00e8s d\u2019ici. Ma m\u00e8re travaillait toute la journ\u00e9e pour soutenir la famille. Le <\/span><\/span><\/span>mari de ma m\u00e8re (qui \u00e9tait devenu mon papa) \u00e9tait bon avec moi et je dois avouer que j\u2019ai \u00e9t\u00e9 <\/span><\/span><\/span>g\u00e2t\u00e9e.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

A l\u2019\u00e2ge de 9 ans, je d\u00e9couvris des papiers administratifs est des actes officiels dans la table de <\/span><\/span><\/span>nuit de ma m\u00e8re et je les lus, \u00e0 maintes reprises, mais toujours en secret. Je ne comprenais <\/span><\/span><\/span>plus rien. Mon p\u00e8re n\u2019\u00e9tait donc pas mon p\u00e8re mais il m\u2019avait adopt\u00e9e. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Selon un autre document du registre de l\u2019\u00e9tat civil de Fribourg en Brisgau, j\u2019\u00e9tais la fille d\u2019un <\/span><\/span><\/span>Fran\u00e7ais.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

J\u2019\u00e9tais profond\u00e9ment troubl\u00e9e, ne parlant \u00e0 personne de ce secret. Un jour, alors que je voulais <\/span><\/span><\/span>relire une fois de plus tous ces papiers, ils avaient disparu. Et il fallut que je vive, tant bien <\/span><\/span><\/span>que mal, enti\u00e8rement seule avec ces faits sans avoir qui que soit pour r\u00e9pondre aux questions <\/span><\/span><\/span>que je me posais, sans m\u00eame pouvoir en parler \u00e0 personne.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Mais cela me pr\u00e9occupait sans cesse : pourquoi et pour quelle raison ? Qui \u00e9tait donc mon <\/span><\/span><\/span>p\u00e8re ? Pourquoi avait-il abandonn\u00e9 non seulement ma m\u00e8re mais moi aussi ? Je n\u2019osais pas <\/span><\/span><\/span>poser de question et il ne pouvait donc pas y avoir de r\u00e9ponse. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Pendant une colonie de vacances de la Jeunesse catholique un pr\u00eatre me conseilla de <\/span><\/span><\/span>m\u2019adresser \u00e0 mes parents. Lui r\u00e9pondant que je n\u2019osais pas, il me conseilla d\u2019\u00e9crire \u00e0 la Croix <\/span><\/span><\/span>Rouge. Ce devait \u00eatre vers 1958. J\u2019\u00e9crivis de suite au Service des Recherches de la Croix <\/span><\/span><\/span>Rouge mais ne re\u00e7us jamais de r\u00e9ponse. Malheureusement je n\u2019ai pas appris la langue <\/span><\/span><\/span>fran\u00e7aise. C\u2019est pourquoi je n\u2019ai pas eu le courage de me mettre \u00e0 sa recherche.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Les ann\u00e9es pass\u00e8rent et lorsque j\u2019\u00e9tais adolescente mon p\u00e8re me surveillait s\u00e9v\u00e8rement. Je <\/span><\/span><\/span>devais toujours rentrer \u00e0 l\u2019heure pile \u00e0 la maison et il fallait que je vienne frapper \u00e0 la porte de <\/span><\/span><\/span>la chambre \u00e0 coucher de mes parents lorsque je rentrais du cours de danse. <\/span><\/span><\/span>J\u2019\u00e9tais alors tr\u00e8s en col\u00e8re apr\u00e8s lui et pensais : \u00ab Il n\u2019a rien \u00e0 me dire. Il n\u2019est pas mon vrai <\/span><\/span><\/span>p\u00e8re. \u00bb. Aujourd\u2019hui, je vois les choses autrement. Ma m\u00e8re \u00e9tait toujours de mon c\u00f4t\u00e9 et elle <\/span><\/span><\/span>intervenait pour nous calmer.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

A cette \u00e9poque, lorsque je remarquais qu\u2019un homme m\u2019observait, je me disais toujours que <\/span><\/span><\/span>c\u2019\u00e9tait peut-\u00eatre mon p\u00e8re. L\u2019envie de le rencontrer ne me quittait jamais.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

J\u2019ai rencontr\u00e9 mon mari \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 17 ans et c\u2019est \u00e0 lui que, pour la premi\u00e8re fois, je racontai <\/span><\/span><\/span>mon histoire. Nous nous sommes mari\u00e9s en 1966 et notre fille, \u00e0 qui nous avons donn\u00e9 un <\/span><\/span><\/span>pr\u00e9nom fran\u00e7ais, est venue au monde deux ans plus tard. <\/span><\/span><\/span>A ce moment-l\u00e0, je n\u2019\u00e9tais pas en bonne sant\u00e9. Un d\u00e9s\u00e9quilibre hormonal m\u2019avait rendue <\/span><\/span><\/span>malade et le secret de famille continuait de peser sur ma conscience.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Je repris le travail apr\u00e8s \u00eatre rest\u00e9e trois ans \u00e0 la maison pour m\u2019occuper de ma fille. C\u2019est <\/span><\/span><\/span>l\u2019\u00e9poque o\u00f9 nous avons commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 partir en vacances et o\u00f9 nous avons entrepris le projet de <\/span><\/span><\/span>construire une maison. Malheureusement, \u00e0 cette \u00e9poque-l\u00e0, mon p\u00e8re, mon p\u00e8re adoptif, est <\/span><\/span><\/span>d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 51 ans.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Depuis ma plus tendre enfance j\u2019ai toujours eu une tr\u00e8s bonne relation avec ma grand-m\u00e8re et <\/span><\/span><\/span>c\u2019est elle qui, dans les ann\u00e9es 70, m\u2019a donn\u00e9 une enveloppe avec quatre photos de mon p\u00e8re. <\/span><\/span><\/span>Mais elle me demanda de ne pas les montrer \u00e0 ma m\u00e8re car elle avait d\u00e9truit toutes les photos <\/span><\/span><\/span>lorsqu\u2019il l\u2019avait quitt\u00e9e. Ceci me toucha profond\u00e9ment et je cherchai \u00e0 reconna\u00eetre des airs de <\/span><\/span><\/span>famille entre lui et moi.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Un chiropraticien, \u00e0 qui j\u2019ai racont\u00e9 mon histoire, me conseilla vivement d\u2019en parler \u00e0 ma <\/span><\/span><\/span>m\u00e8re. Je lui en ai alors parl\u00e9, et souvent reparl\u00e9. Elle s\u2019approchait alors de ses 80 ans. Et elle <\/span><\/span><\/span>me raconta l\u2019histoire de sa belle mais malheureuse histoire d\u2019amour.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Toute sa vie ma m\u00e8re a gard\u00e9 sa joie de vivre, son humour et son admirable \u00e9nergie.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Elle m\u2019a raconta que, dans les ann\u00e9es 80, alors qu\u2019elle \u00e9tait en voyage en France avec son <\/span><\/span><\/span>compagnon, qu\u2019ils s\u2019\u00e9taient arr\u00eat\u00e9s dans la ville natale de mon p\u00e8re. Son compagnon, un <\/span><\/span><\/span>Fran\u00e7ais originaire de Strasbourg, avait appel\u00e9 par t\u00e9l\u00e9phone plusieurs familles du m\u00eame nom <\/span><\/span><\/span>que mon p\u00e8re sans obtenir de renseignement et on lui avait m\u00eame raccroch\u00e9 au nez. Ils ont <\/span><\/span><\/span>alors abandonn\u00e9. Et ce fut la seule recherche que ma m\u00e8re entreprit.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Quelque temps avant sa mort, elle me dit qu\u2019elle r\u00eavait de lui et qu\u2019elle le voyait devant elle.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Ma m\u00e8re est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9e en d\u00e9cembre 2009 peu avant ses 87 ans.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Quelques jours avant No\u00ebl 2010, nous \u00e9tions all\u00e9s chercher des produits fins \u00e0 Strasbourg <\/span><\/span><\/span>avec nos amis B\u00e9atrice et Helmut et passions ensemble une soir\u00e9e conviviale, \u00e0 table avec la <\/span><\/span><\/span>baguette fra\u00eeche, le fromage et le vin rapport\u00e9s de Strasbourg, au moment o\u00f9 B\u00e9atrice, mon <\/span><\/span><\/span>amie de l\u2019\u00e9cole primaire, commen\u00e7a \u00e0 nous raconter l\u2019histoire de sa famille et \u00e9voqua <\/span><\/span><\/span>l\u2019organisation Coeurs sans Fronti\u00e8res.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Ce soir-l\u00e0, j\u2019ai fait un gros effort sur moi-m\u00eame et alors, pour la premi\u00e8re fois, j\u2019ai parl\u00e9 de <\/span><\/span><\/span>mon histoire. Et je me suis dit : \u00ab C\u2019est maintenant ou jamais. Maintenant, je veux savoir. \u00bb<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Je suis donc devenue membre de Coeurs sans Fronti\u00e8res et les contacts avec Chantal ont <\/span><\/span><\/span>commenc\u00e9.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

\u00c9tant donn\u00e9 que j\u2019\u00e9tais en possession de tous les documents concernant mon p\u00e8re et que les <\/span><\/span><\/span>services des \u00e9tats civils de sa ville natale, ainsi que de la ville dans laquelle il a passait la plus <\/span><\/span><\/span>grande partie de sa vie, ont r\u00e9agi tr\u00e8s vite, j\u2019ai rapidement appris la triste nouvelle que mon <\/span><\/span><\/span>p\u00e8re \u00e9tait d\u00e9j\u00e0 d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9, en 2003. Et peu de temps apr\u00e8s, j\u2019ai appris que son \u00e9pouse \u00e9tait <\/span><\/span><\/span>d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9e elle aussi, il y avait alors environ un an.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

J\u2019ai appris ensuite que mon p\u00e8re avait quatre enfants, ce fut une v\u00e9ritable surprise. Moi, la <\/span><\/span><\/span>fille unique, je me retrouvais avec quatre fr\u00e8res et soeurs !<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Gr\u00e2ce aux recherches inlassables de Chantal, \u00e0 qui je dois toute ma reconnaissance, j\u2019ai <\/span><\/span><\/span>finalement appris le nom de mes fr\u00e8res et soeurs.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Lors d\u2019une visite chez Franck (un ancien membre de Coeurs sans Fronti\u00e8res) \u00e0 <\/span><\/span><\/span>Strasbourg, nous avons \u00e9crit \u00e0 sept personnes du m\u00eame nom que mon plus jeune fr\u00e8re, que <\/span><\/span><\/span>Franck avait trouv\u00e9s en faisant des recherches sur Internet, pour leur demander s\u2019ils <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9taient parents avec mon p\u00e8re. Mon fr\u00e8re r\u00e9pondit aussit\u00f4t par e-mail. Il voulait savoir <\/span><\/span><\/span>pourquoi et pour qui nous faisions ces recherches. Ce fut, comme on dit, l\u2019\u00e9pingle dans la <\/span><\/span><\/span>botte de foin. Bref, j\u2019ai eu \u00e9norm\u00e9ment de chance. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>

Mon plus jeune fr\u00e8re, vit depuis 30 ans en Allemagne, une chance inou\u00efe pour moi. 15 jours <\/span><\/span><\/span>apr\u00e8s le premier contact par t\u00e9l\u00e9phone en juin 2011, il est venu le premier \u00e0 Offenbourg pour <\/span><\/span><\/span>me rencontrer et faire connaissance de ma famille.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Il m\u2019a apport\u00e9 des quantit\u00e9s impressionnantes de documents : l\u2019arbre g\u00e9n\u00e9alogique de la <\/span><\/span><\/span>famille, des photos et par-dessus tout la biographie de notre p\u00e8re.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Ce qui m\u2019a le plus \u00e9poustoufl\u00e9e, c\u2019est lorsqu\u2019il m\u2019a dit que, juste apr\u00e8s la mort de notre p\u00e8re, <\/span><\/span><\/span>il avait \u00e9crit \u00e0 l\u2019entreprise Burda pour savoir si quelqu\u2019un y avait connu son p\u00e8re et savait <\/span><\/span><\/span>peut-\u00eatre qu\u2019il avait un enfant ill\u00e9gitime.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Depuis nous, les cinq fr\u00e8res et soeurs ainsi que nos familles respectives, nous avons des <\/span><\/span><\/span>relations tr\u00e8s \u00e9troites. Nous sommes d\u00e9j\u00e0 all\u00e9s deux fois sur la tombe de notre p\u00e8re, ce qui m\u2019a <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9norm\u00e9ment touch\u00e9e. J\u2019ai m\u00eame connu un certain r\u00e9confort par rapport \u00e0 l\u2019image que je me <\/span><\/span><\/span>faisais de mon p\u00e8re car, d\u00e8s les premi\u00e8res rencontres, mes fr\u00e8res et soeurs parlaient tous de <\/span><\/span><\/span>leur p\u00e8re avec beaucoup d\u2019amour et de respect.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Jusqu\u2019\u00e0 maintenant, nous nous sommes rencontr\u00e9s environ quatre fois par an et avons m\u00eame <\/span><\/span><\/span>f\u00eat\u00e9 No\u00ebl dans les Vosges et P\u00e2ques \u00e0 Lyon. Nous \u00e9tions presque tous pr\u00e9sents \u00e0 chaque <\/span><\/span><\/span>rencontre.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

En novembre 2011, nous sommes all\u00e9s \u00e0 Paris chez mon fr\u00e8re et avons profit\u00e9 de l\u2019occasion <\/span><\/span><\/span>pour aller rendre visite aux deux soeurs de mon p\u00e8re, qui sont donc mes tantes. Ce sont des <\/span><\/span><\/span>femmes de 93 et 83 ans. Elles m\u2019ont re\u00e7ue tr\u00e8s gentiment, elles avaient m\u00eame pr\u00e9par\u00e9 le <\/span><\/span><\/span>g\u00e2teau pr\u00e9f\u00e9r\u00e9 de mon p\u00e8re et nous avons bu le Champagne ensemble. Nous avons beaucoup <\/span><\/span><\/span>parl\u00e9 de la famille et de la situation en France pendant et apr\u00e8s la guerre.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Je ne leur ai pas demand\u00e9 si elles avaient \u00e9t\u00e9 au courant de mon existence et elles sont rest\u00e9es <\/span><\/span><\/span>elles-m\u00eames tr\u00e8s discr\u00e8tes. Depuis nous nous \u00e9crivons r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement \u00e0 nos anniversaires et <\/span><\/span><\/span>pour les f\u00eates et elles prennent part avec beaucoup d\u2019int\u00e9r\u00eat \u00e0 notre nouvelle vie de famille.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Aujourd\u2019hui, je suis combl\u00e9e. Maintenant je connais mes origines et j\u2019ai trouv\u00e9 une grande <\/span><\/span><\/span>famille tr\u00e8s adorable.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Je voudrais redire toute ma gratitude \u00e0 Coeurs sans Fronti\u00e8res<\/strong>, avant tout \u00e0 notre ch\u00e8re <\/span><\/span><\/span>Chantal, et \u00e0 B\u00e9atrice qui m\u2019a donn\u00e9 la premi\u00e8re impulsion pour entreprendre des recherches <\/span><\/span><\/span>et qui m\u2019a soutenue tout au long de ces recherches. Merci \u00e0 Chantal pour son immense <\/span><\/span><\/span>engagement et sa pers\u00e9v\u00e9rance pour toutes les d\u00e9marches aupr\u00e8s de l\u2019administration fran\u00e7aise.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Je souhaite \u00e0 celles et ceux qui cherchent encore la m\u00eame r\u00e9ussite et la satisfaction qui en <\/span><\/span><\/span>r\u00e9sultera.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Dans notre histoire, il y a eu deux personnes qui, bien avant que Coeurs sans Fronti\u00e8res ne puisse <\/span><\/span><\/span>\u00e9tablir le contact entre notre soeur allemande et moi, nous ont appris que notre p\u00e8re avait sans doute <\/span><\/span><\/span>une fille en Allemagne. Il y eu tout d'abord notre m\u00e8re, \u00e0 qui notre p\u00e8re avait d\u00fb se confier, et qui <\/span><\/span><\/span>souffrait de l'existence d'une autre femme et d'une fille ill\u00e9gitime dans le pass\u00e9 de son mari.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Et c'est ainsi que, lors de l'absence de notre p\u00e8re parti en voyage d'affaires en Allemagne, notre <\/span><\/span><\/span>m\u00e8re, probablement dans un moment de jalousie et de col\u00e8re, parla de notre demi-soeur \u00e0 un de mes <\/span><\/span><\/span>fr\u00e8res. Il avait alors 18 ans. Moi, j\u2019en avais 12.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>

Le deuxi\u00e8me indice nous fut livr\u00e9 au d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 90 par un de nos oncles. Un soir, lors d\u2019une <\/span><\/span><\/span>soir\u00e9e tr\u00e8s conviviale chez ma soeur, il pronon\u00e7a la phrase suivante : \u00ab Tu n\u2019es pas la seule fille de <\/span><\/span><\/span>ton p\u00e8re \u00bb.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><\/dt>
