UFred Seidel(Isithombe sikaPeter Bulow: WWW.PETERBULOW.COM)
Ngemuva kukaKristallnact, abakwaSeidels babona ukuthi kwakungasaphephile ukuhlala eJalimane ngakho banquma ukuxhumana nenhlangano yamaJuda eBreslau ukuze baqale amalungiselelo okuhamba. Kwakukhona inhlangano yamaJuda eyayisebenza ngokuzikhandla ukusiza amaJuda ukuba aphume eJalimane. Inhloso yokuqala yenhlangano kwakuwukusiza ukukhipha iziboshwa emakamu okuhlushwa, okwakuwumsebenzi obiza kakhulu ngoba uhulumeni waseJalimane wawungazivumeli iziboshwa ziphume emakamu ngaphandle kokuba zikwazi ukukhiqiza ithikithi lokuya nokubuya ngaphandle kwezwe. Abazali bakaFredy bathole ucingo esinagogeni labo ngoMgqibelo ekuseni ngesikhathi sezinkonzo zale nhlangano, esho ukuthi le nhlangano ibatholele imali yokuthi bahambe eJalimane nokuthi kufanele beze ngokushesha. Isikhungo sasinemali eyanele yokuhlenga abazali bakaFredy, ugogo, nomunye wabafowabo, Horst. Umfowabo kaFredy omdala uRudi wayezothunyelwa eBerlin ukuze ahlale nomndeni oxube izinkolo ngethemba lokuthi wayezothola incwadi efungelwe yokuya eMelika. Nokho, URudi wayengeke aze afike eMelika; ngenkathi eseBerlin, walandwa emgwaqweni wathunyelwa e-Auschwitz.
ngawo-1990 bathola ukuthi i-Y ibuya ukuzokwandisa izinhlelo ezazigxile kakhulu enhlanganweni 1939, umndeni wasuka eBremerhaven, Germany futhi wafika eShanghai ngemva kwenyanga. Ngemva kokwehla esikebheni, abakwaSeidel bayiswa endaweni eyayihlelwe umphakathi wendawo weSephardic. UFredy Seidel wazalwa ngoMeyi 1, 1941 e-Shanghai, China. Ngenkathi useShanghai, Abazali bakaFredy bazama ukuziphilisa ngokwenza noma yini ababengayenza ukuze benze imali. Izimo zazingezinhle futhi zenza kube nzima kakhulu ukuthola umsebenzi. I-ghetto ye 25,000 abantu baphakelwa ikhishi lomphakathi nalo elixhaswe wumphakathi wendawo iSephardic. I-ghetto yayinesinagoge elilodwa, eyayakhiwe amaJuda aseRussia. Isinagoge lalaziwa ngokuthi i-Ohel Moishe futhi lelo sinagoge lisamile nanamuhla.
AmaJuda ayehlala e-Shanghai ghetto ayehlaliswa ezindaweni zokugcina izimpahla ezazihlukaniswe zaba 10 amakamelo. Ikamelo ngalinye lalinikeza indawo yokukhosela 28 abantu. Zazingekho izindonga; kwakuyikamelo elilodwa nje elikhulu elinemibhede ewubhantshi. Umama kaFredy wayesebenzisa umboko nendwangu yetafula ukuze enze itafula lokudla kwabo. Izimo zazingahlanzekile neze. Ngokwesibonelo, indlu yangasese yayiseduze 150 izinyawo kude negumbi, ngakho umndeni wakwaSeidel wawugcina ibhodwe ngaphansi kombhede wawo uma kwenzeka kufanele uye endlini yokugezela phakathi nobusuku. Ekuseni, babethatha amabhodwe abo baye endlini yangasese ukuze bachithe imfucuza. Bekunamashawa omphakathi amabili, eyodwa ngeyabesilisa enye ngeyabesifazane; lokhu akuzange kuvumele noma yikuphi ubumfihlo. Cishe 3000 abantu babulawa ukungondleki nezimo ezingahlanzekile. UFredy uyakhumbula ukuthi ubungavunyelwe ukuphuma endaweni yokulinda ngaphandle kwemvume ekhethekile evela kukhomishana wamaphoyisa.
Akubona bonke ababaleki e-ghetto ababengamaJuda. UFredy uyakhumbula ukuthi kunabantu abafika ngoba beshadile. Uma ebuzwa ngomphakathi wangakubo, UFredy uthi, "Kwami, Ngaba nomuzwa onamandla kakhulu wenkolo yobuJuda kanye nenkolelo eqinile ku-G-d.” Ngenkathi uhlala e-Shanghai, UFredy ukhumbula ukufunda okuningi ngobuJuda nokuthi kusho ukuthini ukuba nokholo. Uqhubeka echaza ukuthi ingxenye enkulu yababaleki yayivela edolobheni laseJalimane elibizwa ngokuthi iSelisia.
Umphakathi wamaJuda eShanghai wawubambene kakhulu futhi ukhungethwe ubumpofu. Abantu bazama ukwenza okungcono kakhulu ngesikhathi sabo lapho. AmaJuda azakhela elawo iphephandaba elibizwa ngeYellow Post. UFredy ukhumbula ukuthi amaShayina ayewusizo kakhulu futhi ayehlanganyela lokho okuncane ayenakho nomphakathi wamaJuda.
UFredy waya ezikoleni ezine zamaJuda phakathi neminyaka emihlanu eShanghai. Waphinde wafunda esikoleni saseBrithani. UFredy ukhumbula ukuthi kufanele aye ezinkonzweni zaseSheshi ngenkathi esesikoleni saseBrithani. Lapho, abafundi bajeziswa othisha ngoqalo, ababeyishaya izingane. Lokhu kwakuhluke kakhulu kulokho abhekana nakho ezikoleni zamaJuda. Wachaza izikole zamaJuda njengezondla kakhulu. Njengoba babebaningi abafundi ababaleki abasele, kwakhiwa isikole esincane ukuze sibabambele. Kwakukhona abafundi abathathu kubo bonke othisha. Lokhu akuzange kube kuhle kakhulu ekufundeni ngenxa yendlela okwanqunywa ngayo ukunaka kukathisha.
Ngenkathi e-ghetto, Obaba bakaFredy bazama ukuziphilisa ngokuqoqa izinsingo ezindala, ewalola, nokuzama ukuzithengisela amaShayina, kodwa lokhu akuzange kuphumelele. Wabe esezama ukuba ngumthungi wezicathulo. Ukwengeza, wayengumfundisi esinagogeni lase-Ohel Moshe.
I-Red Cross yafika eShanghai futhi yasakaza uhlu lwemibuzo kubabaleki ukuze bathole ukuthi ubani owayefuna izihlobo zabo. Ngemva konyaka, babuya babeka ibhodi elikhulu lezaziso odongeni elinohlu lwamagama abantu akade bebafuna. Lena yindlela uyise kaFredy athola ngayo ukuthi indodana yakhe endala yayibulewe e-Auschwitz. Uthole nokuthi abazali bakhe nezingane zakwabo babulewe bonke. UFredy uyakhumbula, “Ubaba wawela ezandleni zomfowethu. Yileyo ndlela abantu abathola ngayo ukuthi kwenzekani kumalungu omndeni wabo. Bekungeyona indlela ebucayi kakhulu yokuthola."
Ekugcineni, uhulumeni waseShayina watshela amaJuda ukuthi ayengeke esakwazi ukuhlala lapho. Ku 1952, abakwaSeidel babuyela eJalimane. Babengomunye wemindeni engamashumi amathathu yokugcina ishiya iShanghai. Abazali bakaFredy babezothola imali yokuqala ukuze bakhe kabusha izimpilo zabo eJalimane.
Lapho abakwaSeidel bebuyela eJalimane, lase lihlukaniswe laba yiMpumalanga neNtshonalanga Jalimane. Abazali bakaFredy babevela edolobheni laseJalimane elibizwa ngokuthi iBreslau, eyayiyingxenye yePoland, futhi yayibhekwa njengengxenye yeNtshonalanga Jalimane ngakho ukubuyiselwa okwathenjiswa lapho bebuyela eJalimane akuzange kusebenze kubo. Lokhu kwayilimaza kakhulu imali kwabakwaSeidel. Lokhu kwenza abakwaSeidel bazama ukushushumbisa phakathi kweMpumalanga neNtshonalanga Jalimane ukuze babasize baphile. AbakwaSeidel bathuthela efulethini elincane futhi ubaba kaFredy waphinde waba umfundisi. NgoFebhuwari 2, abakwaSeidel bathola i-visa yabo yokuza eMelika. NgoFebhuwari 22, Umama kaFredy wangeniswa egunjini labagula kakhulu lapho ayezohlala khona kuze kube uSepthemba futhi wayephuma ehamba ngesihlalo sabakhubazekile. I-bar mitzvah kaFredy yayizoba ngoMeyi. Bekufanele abe ngumfana wokuqala onabazali ababili abangamaJuda ukuba abe i-bar mitzvahed ngemuva kwempi yaseBerlin. Orabi abaningi beza bevela ezindaweni zonke ukuze babe khona kulo mcimbi. Ngobusuku bangaphambi kwe-bar mitzvah yakhe, UFredy noyise banquma ukuthi abafuni ukuba ne-bar mitzvah ngaphandle kokuba unina abe khona futhi engumqemane futhi. Wagcina elindile kwaze kwaba yilapho esephumile esibhedlela ukuze ayokwenza i-bar mitzvah yakhe.
AbakwaSeidel babambeke eJalimane 7 iminyaka. Ku 1959, abakwaSeidel bafika eMelika. Umkhaya wanquma ukuya eSan Francisco ukuze uvakashele omunye wabafowabo bakaFredy ngaphambi kokuba uzinze eNew York. Okwakufanele kube uhambo lwamasonto amabili kwaphenduka ukuhlala unyaka wonke. Ngenkathi useSan Francisco, UFredy wasebenza njengomfana webhasi futhi wabe esengumfana wemfuyo ukuze azame ukusiza umndeni wakhe ngokwezimali. Ngemva kokuba umndeni wakhe unqume ukuthuthela eNew York, UFredy ubesebenza ezitembuni zikaGimble. Wayenamaphupho okuya e-Columbia University nangemva kokusebenza eGimble’s isikhashana, amaphupho akhe afezeka. UFredy wabhalisa e-Columbia University e 20 ubudala. Nakuba wayezobuthelwa ebuthweni ngesikhathi ese-Columbia, ngenxa yezifo zasezindaweni ezishisayo azithola esemncane eShanghai akazange amukelwe ebuthweni. Emsebenzini wakhe wokugcina, UFredy wasebenza njengommeli enkampanini yabameli 20 sidale uhlelo lwetiyetha yomculo oluyingqayizivele lwentsha.
