Translated by R. G. Surely you will have communicated all this also to Mrs. Asmus, since I would not like to be forced to write such a long—and boring!—letter twice. But now different thoughts. Your—and Frau Lotte’s—quite royal birthday gift of 2. DM 6. 5 (two hundred eighty- five German Marks and sixty- five Pfennig), that you sent together, moved me deeply. I am not worthy of so much money—and so much love—as I never was able to give for those great things, which are dear to my heart, such great sums since I never earned to much money—and that’s my own fault (if you would call something like that a “fault,” that is). I condemned myself, on 2. May 1. 92. 8 (I would become conscious only about one year later—1. NS faith) to poverty and a life of financial difficulties, when I rejected my French citizenship in Athens and accepted Greek citizenship.(Although I do not regret it, I would not do so now, for the simple reason that in today’s world every citizenship is just as bad as the others—precisely because so few correspond to the true soul of a people. It would be something to despair, if I had remained so naive.)There was a competition in Athens in June 1. French language in a Greek High School. I participated in it, and told my good, beloved French friend Viviane (whom Mrs. Asmus knows) that that was the reason why I, on 2. Savitri Devi Mukherji (born Maximine Julia Portaz, September 30, 1905, Lyon, France — October 22, 1982, Essex, England) was a French writer, of mixed English. Savitri Devi Mukherji (30 September 1905 – 22 October 1982) was the pseudonym of the Greek-French writer Maximiani Portas (also spelled Maximine Portaz), a. Savitri Film List - Telugu.

But I had—from love for my young friend, who is so good from any point of view—also not told the whole truth. Family wise, I had much more to do with Lombardy than with Greece. From Greece—or rather from the Greek upper- class of Constantinople came, I was told, my great- grandfather, Pavlos Portassi, born in 1. Italy around 1. 79. He would by marriage join a well- to- do north Italian family and became established. When Savoyards were to choose to become Italian or French, he chose France, and his children were thus born “French” according to French law. My father, the fifth of six, was born 1. February 1. 86. 1. He knew Italian and French but very little Greek. And I grew up among many Greeks our acquaintance.)My rejection of France and the Allies began in 1. I was not yet 1. 0 years old. In the Catholic school, where I first went, they told us in 1. Germans were “terrible barbarians” because they had attacked “poor little Belgium.” I did not have much interest at that time in the war between the great powers, but remembered quite well the second Balkan War—1. Greece, Serbia, and Bulgaria against Turkey, and then Serbia and Greece against Bulgaria. I still remember an anti- Bulgarian Greek . Nothing disturbed me until 1. The British fleet blocked the small country, which cannot live without imports—for 1. On 1 December 1. 91. French also landed in Athens—all because Greece did not wish to fight with the Allies in the war. I thought, “The liars!” The Germans are barbarians, because they marched into “poor little Belgium.” And this pack! Why doesn’t one call them barbarians because they force their tyranny upon “poor little Greece”? I asked my father. He explained: the Allies fight “for democracy.” Then I said, “I shit on democracy.” I hated the Allies! I went—not far from where my parents lived—behind the newly- built station (Gare des Brotteaux), and as it became pitch dark, wrote on the wall in meter- high letters, with chalk stolen from the school: “A bas les Alli. But my hate for the liars was genuine. I said to my mother: “When I am 2. I will reject my French nationality and take that of . For I hated England just as much because of the blockade of Greece. After 1. 91. 8, I was still disgusted by the French hate- demonstrations with the chant: “L’Allemange paiera!” (Germany will pay!), and by what I heard of the conditions of occupation in Germany: occupation by Black Senegalese troops in a land of the White race. Franklin- Bouillon in the name of France formed an alliance with the Turks. In 1. 92. 8 I completed my Licence . I stayed in a completely modest room in Athens, lived by giving lessons, and worked in the library. One should remain three years in Greece, in order to be able to get citizenship. But, in the Interior Ministry, where I was interviewed, a man said to me: “With a doctorate and all the education that you have, you can have a marvelous position in France. Here you would have to begin with piece- work, or, if you cannot wait, live by giving lessons, like every half- educated foreigner. Why do you reject French nationality? Very well- educated Greeks have intentionally taken it in order to obtain important positions.”Probably it meant nothing to them to be compatriots of general Sarrail, of Jonnard, of Dartige du Foumet, and all the others who exerted criminal military coercion on Greece—and compatriots also of Franklin Bouillon! To me it meant something. Many things infuriated me, among other things the indifference of the people to trees and animals. For one (long) moment, I thought of going to Germany, but despite your opposition to Jewry, the propaganda at this time (the public at least, but I knew no other) was for me much too tolerant of Christianity. I was employed only 9 years in France as a teacher (1. I get the small pension on which I live—for which, however, I had to be recognized again as “French” by the authorities. One day—of you are interested—I will tell you of the first, the very first German, a prisoner of war whom I saw a half hour in a camp, whose commander was an acquaintance of my father—a certain Monsieur Lagrillon. Well, I will tell it now, since I cannot send my letter on its way: Today is Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday, and all businesses and the post office are closed. I was 1. 3 years old when Monsieur Lagrillon invited my father to visit his camp with my mother and me. The camp stood on the site in Lyons—or rather in a suburb of Lyons—where today stands the enormous hospital called the “Grange blanche” . At that time, the whole place was a building site where prisoners of war worked. We saw the bedrooms, and I was afraid of the large, half- wild dogs the guards held so that no prisoners could escape at night. Then we saw the foundation walls, which rose slowly from the earth. Then Monsieur Lagrillon said to my father: “We have here a prisoner who is very educated and among other things knows English well. Would you like to meet him?” My father said that he did not know English, which was true. If she would like to speak to him . I have hated the Allies from day they abused Greece so cruelly and forced it into the war on their side. My warmest wish is that . I would be glad to see you as the lords of Europe! And hope to see it as soon as possible!”The young man merely smiled. I do not remember exactly. If he is still alive, he must be over 8. I wonder if he ever thought of that 1. I was also blonde as a child, but with brown eyes, dark- blonde as an adult, now more white than grey), if he ever thought of the girl who said to him after the end of the First World War in the prisoner of war camp, “I would be glad to see the Germans as the Lords of Europe.”He must have remembered during the Kampfzeit . When we returned home, my mother the English pacifist asked me what I had said to him. She said nothing, except that I had “the right, even when so young, to have my own opinions and my own . I did not know it naturally. There was no communication between Calcutta and Europe. She died on 2. 5 March 1. Forgive this long, badly written letter. With love and with the greeting of the faithful. How old are the eldest? And what are their names? October 1. 89. 7, Himmler’s birthday.
