Preface
When I was a child in post-World War II Germany, my father brought home wallpaper samples for me to draw on. At a time of extreme material and spiritual poverty, I created on scrap paper worlds of richness and beauty that I had never seen but was sure existed. Later, I began to realize the dreams I held step by step, some already at a young age, others not until I was a mature woman. One dream, I was told, I would never fulfillthat of becoming a teacher, perhaps a university professor. I didn't believe the pessimistic forecasts but held on to my inner vision. Already well on my way to graduate school, I encountered Martin Buber. In his writings, I found my own worldview confirmed as a path to fulfillment but on a much broader scale than I had envisioned. It was not a question of following him blindlyI, too, am not a herd animalbut of experiencing the courage I already had for a nobler purpose, a greater task than personal gain. Martin Buber taught me to have the courage to be myself and to be not only for myself. He loved the two cultures that are also mine and reminded me of where I had been and where I had to go.
