Resistance fighter, publisher, journalist, and diplomat — what Fritz Molden dared, achieved, lost again, and began anew over the course of his long life would have been enough for several lifetimes.
Maybe we were afraid. I don’t know, I can’t remember. Later I was afraid, but then it was all still amusing. We didn’t know yet what a “KZ” was, a concentration camp. We heard “camp,” but we were naïve, we thought, what’s the worst that can happen? What used to happen to Hitler Youth boys, at most three weeks of detention camp. We misjudged everything. We were playing cowboys and Indians, but it was against Hitler.
(Fritz Molden, interviewed in 2008, on the beginnings of the Austrian Resistance.)
