Wilsdruffer Strasse

  • 1944, April 12, Wednesday morning – After work, I was at Hahn, the optician, Wilsdruffer Strasse, where Eva had made an appointment for me, by about five o’clock. An elderly gentleman with the Party badge, a full shop. I was thoroughly, almost tenderly examined in a side room. I am getting two pairs of spectacles — “we’ll put the more expensive pair on the health insurance!” — they will be ready in one week. (Three months is considered normal.) **p308
