Gert Hoffmann
Interbrigadist and volunteer in Nicaragua.
(9.6.1917 Vienna - 9.7.2014 Markt Piesting)
"When my children ask me today if I stand by my youthful ideals, I answer them: My dreams of yore have not come true. Countless people have made great efforts and sacrifices to make them come true. I cannot accept that it should be impossible to help justice prevail in this world."
Translation from: Hoffmann, Gert: Barcelona Gurs Managua, Auf holprigen Straßen durch das 20. Jahrhundert. page 241
