    • 2016 December 17, Sibylle Lewitscharoff, “Der Hass glomm in der Pubertät”, in Neue Zürcher Zeitung[1]:
      Hartgesottene Nazis, denen ich hätte aufs Haupt schlagen können, sind mir selten begegnet. Kampfunerprobt, wie ich realiter war, wäre das auch schlecht für mich ausgegangen.
      Dogged nazis whose heads I could have beaten up I rarely met. Unexperienced in combat, as I was for a fact, it would not have ended without harm for myself either.
