Frases de Gudrun Ensslin

Gudrun Ensslin foi um dos membros fundadores e líder da Fração do Exército Vermelho, organização guerrilheira alemã de extrema esquerda, também conhecida como Grupo Baader-Meinhof.

Gudrun Ensslin nasceu numa pequena cidade do estado de Baden-Württemberg, que na época pertencia à República Federal Alemã . Era a quarta de sete filhos. A sua mãe chamava-se Ilse Ensslin e o seu pai Helmut Ensslin. Helmut era um pastor da "Evangelischen Kirche in Deutschland" , uma igreja que se tinha formado em reação ao nazismo.

Aos dezoito anos, Gudrun participou durante um ano num intercâmbio estudantil nos Estados Unidos da América, estudando numa escola local da Pensilvânia.Ingressou de seguida na Universidade de Tübingen, onde estudou filosofia, estudos anglísticos e germanísticos. Foi na universidade, em 1962, que conheceu um jovem de esquerda de nome Bernward Vesper, filho de um nazi, que se tornou seu namorado. Com Vesper e mais dois estudantes, Gudrun fundaria uma pequena editora, a Studio Neue Literatur, uma editora que publicaria apenas dois livros.Gudrun pretendia ser professora primária, mas após ter obtido uma nota de aptidão para esta profissão que não correspondia às suas expectativas, decidiu optar pelo doutoramento. Gudrun e Vesper tornaram-se noivos em 1965 e o casal mudou-se para Berlim Ocidental. Nesta cidade, Gudrun prosseguiu os seus estudos na Universidade Livre de Berlim, ao mesmo tempo em que se envolveu em manifestações contra a Guerra no Vietname. A Alemanha Ocidental não teve um envolvimento directo no conflito, mas os Estados Unidos tinham bases militares instaladas no seu território, contestadas pelos manifestantes.

Em 13 de Maio de 1967, Gudrun deu à luz um menino, Felix Robert, resultado de uma gravidez planeada. Contudo, a sua relação com Vesper degradava-se à medida que Gudrun se envolvia cada vez mais com a cultura estudantil de esquerda. Wikipedia

Gudrun Ensslin: Frases em inglês

“We are brutal with ourselves…., and one of the consequences this could have is that we will be equally brutal and cold with everyone else. Perhaps that's exactly what I've been missing…. A stroke of a sword, a well-aimed bullet must be less than what I feel when I think of being near you.”

“Ahab makes a great impression on his first appearance in Moby Dick… And if either by birth or by circumstance something pathological was at work deep in his nature, this did not detract from his dramatic character. For tragic greatness always derives from a morbid break with health, you can be sure of that.”
