LONNY GOLDSMITH
Sta Writer
T
homas Wolfe wrote the
1940 novel You Can't Go
Home Again, and it was
advice Marianne Wildstrom
planned to follow.
Fifty-six years after fleeing her
hometown of Fuerth, Germany, she
returned on a 10-day trip at the invita-
tion of the city and its people.
"I had no intention of ever going
back," Wildstrom said a week after her
return. "At first I said no, but I got
three phone calls from residents that
asked me to."
Wildstrom's family was very encour-
aging. Her brother and sister-in-law
from Atlanta, and her son in
Washington, D.C., traveled with her.
Wildstrom wanted to see the newly
dedicated Holocaust memorial in
Fuerth.
"I was 17 1/2 when we left, Aug. 1,
1941," she said. "We were on the last
boat that was allowed to leave the
country.
"HIAS [Hebrew Immigrant Aid
Society] and the Joint Distribution
Committee chartered a Portuguese
freighter to take us to America."
Deportations to concentration
camps, she said, began six weeks after
Wildstrom, her parents and her brother
left. Her other brother left for the U.S.
in 1938. Her grandmother was not
able to make the trip. "Mercifully,"
Wildstrom said, "she died the day
before she was to be deported."
Steve Wildstrom had been to
Germany twice before on business
trips, but went again to support his
mother.
The rabbi of Fuerth speaks in front of
the town's new Holocaust memorial.
"I was very interested in going
because I've never been to that part of
Germany," he said. "The one question
I had was the motivation behind the
program."
The trip, he explained, was spon-
sored by the city with funds raised by
private sources.
"I'm sure they had sincere reasons,"
he said. "They were all too young to
have been a part of it."
Mrs. Wildstrom was very happy to
return home following the trip.
"It was very difficult," she said. "It
was meant to be a closure, not a home-
coming.
_
"In some sense, it was important
that I made the trip, although I had
never planned on it."
