The Latvian-German politician and journalist Paul Schiemann was a
passionate advocate of independence for the indigenous Baltic
peoples. He unflinchingly resisted all forms of political extremism
and wrote one of the earliest extended critical analysis of
National Socialism. Schiemann vigorously opposed Nazi infiltration
of the German minorities' movement and through this the European
Nationalities' Congress. He also endured and commented bitingly on
his experience of life under communist rule in the Baltic states.
His memories, which he began to dictate to a young Jewish girl whom
he was hiding, testify to his ideas on minority rights, extremism
and Europe's future. Hiden's biography of this courageous man who
battled against both Baltic and German nationalism opens up a
little-explored chapter of Baltic history in a region today seen
once more as the litmus test of the new Europe.
