Hans Arno Joachim

HANS ARNO MAX JOACHIM was born on May 3, 1902 in Freiburg. His parents were Dr. med. HERMANN JOACHIM and Emilie Joachim, née Roos. He had a brother, Kurt Karl Joachim, who studied medicine. HANS ARNO JOACHIM was a student at Bertoldgymnasium. The family lived at Friedrichstrasse 26 (today Friedrichstrasse 52) on the third floor. There he was almost buried during the air raid on Freiburg by an airship on the evening of January 27, 1916 (source 64, p. 35). HANS ARNO JOACHIM studied German, philosophy and philology in Freiburg with interruptions. He was intensively interested in literature and was friends with, among others, Alfred Kantorowicz and Peter Huchel. He is described as self-confident without being arrogant or conceited. On the other hand, he was sensitive and, as a former childhood resident of the house, Hannah Ruh, said, “ a tender, vulnerable soul ,” which he, however, knew how to hide (Source 36, p. 466). He wrote texts and is considered the inventor of radio plays, and tried his hand as a dramaturg and literary critic. In an essay, Hans Arno Joachim wrote: “At the beginning of our world was the world war. And when the emergency state of peace was declared, we were found to be in the extraordinary position of starting the world anew. (…]) We had reason to distance ourselves from the past.” (ibid., p. 468ff.).

HANS ARNO JOACHIM fled to Paris in 1933 with his wife Gerta Joachim. There they tried to live more poorly than well for a while. When the war began, he was interned as a German in France – like all “enemy foreigners”. Gerta Joachim, however, was allowed to escape. HANS ARNO JOACHIM lived in the small southern French coastal town of Sanary, like many refugees. There were hardly any visas for leaving the country, but there were many raids. He had contacts in the USA and hoped for a long time that the residence permits, so-called affidavits, would reach him and his wife in time. His last letter dated May 1, 1941 concludes: “The hope that I can no longer afford here and that would be necessary for bare life has left with you, dear Alfred (Kantorowicz, MM). I embrace you. “Jo” (ibid., p. 473).

HANS ARNO JOACHIM was admitted to the Brignoles (Var) prison camp on February 15, 1944 and deported from there to the Drancy concentration camp on March 13, 1944 (ibid.). He was deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp with convoy number 70 on March 27, 1944. He was murdered there at the age of 42.

He who remembers you, my God,
in Freiburg, a city situated on three springs
, has now become a stranger
in the land of Germany
, as his grandfathers were in Egypt and
his fathers in Babylon.

HANS ARNO JOACHIM probably consciously signed this poem with the name ‚Aron‘ (ferryman to the underworld, MM) before his escape from Nazi Germany in 1933. Officially it is said that he is missing. We were made aware of HANS ARNO JOACHM by the Freiburg city councilor and lawyer Michael Moos, who also financed his STOLPERSTEIN.

האנס ארנו מקס יואכים נולד בפרייבורג ב3 במאי 1902. הוריו היו הרמן יואכי ם, MD, ואמילי יואכים (לבית רוס). היה לו אח אחד, קורט קארל יואכים, שלמד רפואה. האנס ארנו יואכים היה תלמיד בBertoldgymnasium. המשפחה גרה ברחוב Friedrichstraße 26 (כיום Friedrichstraße 52) בקומה השלישית. הוא כמעט נקבר בזמן המתקפה האווירית על פרייבורג על ידי ספינות אוויר בערב ה27 בינואר 1916. האנס ארנו יואכים למד גרמנית, פילוסופיה ופילולוגיה בפרייבורג (עם הפרעות). הוא היה מעורב בספרות באופן פעיל והיה חבר של Alfred Kantorowicz וPeter Huchel בין היתר. הוא מתואר כבעל ביטחון עצמי אך לא יהיר או מתנשא. מצד שני, הוא היה רגיש, והייתה לו, כפי שסיפרה חברת ילדות לשעבר, חנה רוח : „נפש רכה ופגיעה“ שבכל זאת הוא ידע איך להסתיר. הוא כתב טקסטים ונחשב לממציא מכשירי הרדיו, וניסה את מזלו כדרמטורג וכ מדרג ספרות. בחיבור, האנס ארנו יואכים כתב: „בתחילת העולם שלנו הייתה את מלחמת העולם … ם מחדש. (…) הייתה לנו סיבה להרחיק את עצמינו מהעבר.“
האנס ארנו יואכים ברח לפריז ב1933, יחד עם אשתו גרטה יואכים. שם הם ניסו במשך זמן מה לחיות יותר רע מאשר טוב. בתחילת המלחמה, הוא נכלא בצרפת בתור גרמני – כמו כל „האויבים הזרים“. גרטה יואכים, לעומת זאת, הורשתה לברוח. האנס ארנו יואכים חי בעיירת חוף קטנה בדרום צרפת (בשם סנרי), כמו פליטים רבים. בקושי היו ויזות כדי לעזוב את המדינה, אבל היו פשיטות רבות. הוא יצר קשר עם ארה“ב וקיווה במשך זמן רב שאשרות השהייה/תושבות, הaffidavits, יג יעו אליו ואל אשתו בזמן. המכתב האחרון שלו מה1 במאי 1941 מסתכם עם: „התקווה, ששוה, אני כבר לא יכול להרשות לעצמי כאן ושתהיה הכרחית לקיום חיים, הלכה יחד איתך, אלפרד היקר (קנטורוויץ, MM). חיבוק, ג’ו
רש משם למחנה הריכוז דראנסי במרץ 1944. הוא גורש למחנה הריכוז אושוויץ במשלוח מספר 70 ב27 במרץ 1944, שם הוא נרצח בגיל 42.

מי זוכר אותך, אלוהים
לפרייבורג, עיר שממוקמת בשלושה מעיינות
ועכשיו נ הפכה לזרה
באדמת גרמניה
כמו שסביו היו במצרים ו
אבותיו בבבל

האנס ארנו יואכים, סופר

האנס ארנו יואכים ככל הנראה חתם על השיר הזה תחת השם „ארון“ (מעבורת לעול ם התחתון, MM) לפני בריחתו מגרמניה הנאצית ב1933. רשמית נאמר שהוא נעלם. האנס ארנו יואכים הובא לידיעתינו על ידי חבר מועצת פרייבורג ועורך הדי ן מיכאל מוס, שגם מימן את אבן הנגף (stumbling block) לזכרו.
אבן נגף לזכר האנס ארנו יואכים הונחה באפריל 2003.
