Speaker and Author with a positive vision for Germany

#liebeistdieeinzigeantwort

For 75 years, Germans have struggled with their self-image. Many feel uncomfortable in their own skin, yet society has carefully trained them not to talk about it - not to ask the kind of questions Germans ask when they are truly German.

We are living in a time of great historical change and more and more people are feeling it. It is important to listen to Germans and for them to be loved for who they really are.

Germans were created to fulfill a special role in the world. When the Germans are Germans again, the world will be healed.

Love is the only answer.
