She talked about it a lot \u2013 within the confines of her own experiences as a child and a young woman growing up in a working-class background. She never engaged with the academic or intellectual discourse on National Socialism. Nonetheless, throughout her life she maintained a keen interest in politics and world events. One thing she would talk about was her sister-in-law, Irmgard Pl\u00e4ttner (1921-1945). She recounted that Irmgard \u00bbdidn\u2019t want to work\u00ab and was therefore arrested several times and ultimately put in a concentration camp, where, according to the post-war account of a fellow female prisoner from our family, she was murdered. Irmgard Pl\u00e4ttner\u2019s husband, my great-grandmother\u2019s brother, apparently found out about her arrest while on leave from the front. He went \u00bbto the authorities\u00ab and demanded her release, but they advised him to divorce her because \u00bba woman like that doesn\u2019t deserve a German soldier\u00ab and the marriage \u00bbcould have consequences for him\u00ab. However, he refused to get divorced. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My grandmother and my mother were also familiar with this story. The term \u00bbasocial\u00ab never came up in this context. I accepted the version of events that was passed down to me as a youngster, but I had my doubts about it. Not because I thought my great-grandmother was lying; rather I presumed that she had remembered things incorrectly or was misinformed. In addition, it seemed unrealistic that there would be a victim of National Socialism in mine of all families. It would also be wrong to assume that this story was a predominant feature of my great-grandmother\u2019s reminiscences. It was one of many stories that she told to demonstrate the terrible conditions in which people had to live under the Nazi dictatorship. Even though, as far as I can recall, my great-grandmother never considered herself or her family as \u00bbvictims\u00ab of National Socialism, these stories of course related solely to her own experiences. They barely featured anything that occurred outside the microcosm of Braunschweig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was only in the years following my great-grandmother\u2019s death that it began to dawn on me that Irmgard Pl\u00e4ttner might have belonged to the category of people persecuted as \u00bbasocials\u00ab. In 2020 I began looking into my great-great aunt\u2019s history in more detail and discovered a great deal about her life and her persecution. I turned my research findings into a book. During my research and after the book came out, people\u2019s reactions were almost exclusively positive \u2013 something that is, I think, untypical. Most of the people I talked to were really interested in the topic. Only very few of them were aware that people were persecuted under National Socialism for being labelled \u00bbasocial\u00ab, let alone of what the term means. This was epitomised by one person who presumed that Irmgard Pl\u00e4ttner must obviously have been Jewish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-boom-spacer\" style=\"height:2rem\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/www.die-verleugneten.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/plaettner-02-stolperstein-braunschweig-privat-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"June 2021, Braunschweig: a \u00bbStolperstein\u00ab (\u00bbstumbling stone\u00ab) memorial plaque in memory of Irmgard Pl\u00e4ttner set into the pavement outside the address 3\/4 Werder.\" class=\"wp-image-4116\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.die-verleugneten.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/plaettner-02-stolperstein-braunschweig-privat-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.die-verleugneten.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/plaettner-02-stolperstein-braunschweig-privat-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.die-verleugneten.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/plaettner-02-stolperstein-braunschweig-privat-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.die-verleugneten.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/plaettner-02-stolperstein-braunschweig-privat-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.die-verleugneten.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/plaettner-02-stolperstein-braunschweig-privat.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">June 2021, Braunschweig: a \u00bbStolperstein\u00ab (\u00bbstumbling stone\u00ab) memorial plaque in memory of Irmgard Pl\u00e4ttner set into the pavement outside the address 3\/4 Werder. <br><sub>Source: Private collection<\/sub><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-boom-spacer\" style=\"height:2rem\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Although I no longer had any relatives able to talk about the period from direct experience, my family were a constant source of support. Whenever I found out something new, I often discussed it with my parents and grandparents. Together we attempted to piece together what might have happened. We also wondered how much my great-grandmother actually knew about her sister-in-law. For instance, I found out that Irmgard Pl\u00e4ttner had been in state care and had had a child at the age of 16.  We were all convinced that my great-grandmother would have told us that had she known. Did my great-great-uncle know? Possibly. He was said to have been less talkative than his sister. However, maybe Irmgard Pl\u00e4ttner also kept it a secret from him. The child concerned could still be alive today. I made great efforts to track down this person, but was unsuccessful. I could not find out anything beyond the 1960s.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No one in my family, myself included, is in any doubt that, were she still here, my great-grandmother would have supported my research wholeheartedly and taken a great interest in all of my findings. Even though I never met them, I think that her parents and my great-great-uncle would also have been supportive. I am convinced that as far as they were concerned, Irmgard Pl\u00e4ttner was not an \u00bbasocial\u00ab, rather she was one of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, I do not think that recognition from the Bundestag would have meant a lot to them as it only confirms what they considered self-evident anyway. It would surely have meant more to them that there is now a \u00bbStolperstein\u00ab in memory of Irmgard Pl\u00e4ttner. The plaque is laid at the address where they all lived, Am Werder in the centre of Braunschweig, which looks nothing like it did back then because of war damage and demolition. This is the first \u00bbStolperstein\u00ab in Braunschweig to remember someone from the category of people persecuted as supposed \u00bbasocials\u00ab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-boom-spacer\" style=\"height:2.7rem\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-secondary-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-secondary-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-boom-spacer\" style=\"height:1rem\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"526\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.die-verleugneten.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/plaettner-03-buchcover-haberlah-einert-krink-526x800.jpeg\" alt=\"The book \u00bbSent to Ravensbr\u00fcck as an \u203aAsocial\u2039; The Brief Life of Irmgard Pl\u00e4ttner\u00ab by Daniel Haberlah was published in June 2021 by Einert &amp; Krink.\" class=\"wp-image-4118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.die-verleugneten.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/plaettner-03-buchcover-haberlah-einert-krink-526x800.jpeg 526w, https:\/\/www.die-verleugneten.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/plaettner-03-buchcover-haberlah-einert-krink-362x550.jpeg 362w, https:\/\/www.die-verleugneten.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/plaettner-03-buchcover-haberlah-einert-krink.jpeg 738w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><sub>Source: Einert &amp; Krink<\/sub><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p><em>The book <a href=\"https:\/\/einert-krink.de\/products\/als-<a tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"glossary\" data-bs-toggle=\"popover\" data-bs-trigger=\"hover focus\" title=\"asozial\" data-bs-content-id=\"popover-id-3955\" aria-label=\"asozial - Glossary term\">asozial<\/a>e-nach-ravensbruck-das-kurze-leben-der-irmgard-plattner&#8221;>\u00bbAls \u203a<a tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" class=\"glossary\" data-bs-toggle=\"popover\" data-bs-trigger=\"hover focus\" title=\"Asoziale\" data-bs-content-id=\"popover-id-3052\" aria-label=\"Asoziale - Glossary term\">Asoziale<\/a>\u2039 nach Ravensbr\u00fcck.
