Written for Siegfried and Eva Heinke
Composed Sept.-Oct. 1986
SiegfriedÕs family name was originally Abramcyk. He was a Christian with Jewish ancestors, who was nevertheless a brilliant quartermaster with the Wehrmacht during WWII, and later became Finance-Minister, first in Flensburg, then in Niedersachsen. He and Eva spent much time in Hanerau right after the war, playing often in the 50 Hausmusikabenden of the Hausmusikvereins Hanerau-Hademarschen between Sept. 8, 1946 and May 27, 1949. He played violin, viola, and sang 20 times, she 38 times.
Eva was the daughter of the Headmaster of the school in Plšn where Charlotte's brother, Mannfred, and sister, Hedi, had attended. Her family disowned her because she married a Jew! She (they) adopted the Hanerauer as a substitute family. Eva's sister, Leo Wienbeck (who married a Nazi judge!), was a study-mate of Jan's at the LŸbeck Conservatory, while Eva herself was a class-mate of Charlotte's brother Mannfred.
After the war, when the families were waiting for soldiers to return home to Hanerau, the first one to arrive was Siegfried--he had sent Eva on ahead there to wait for him, since she couldn't go to her own home in Plšn.
