Keinzelfall

The book "Keinzelfall" by Christiane Florin tells the moving life story of Heinz, who lived as a child in a Caritas home and experienced terrible abuse there. At just six years old, he becomes a victim of a sadistic caregiver and a violent priest. After ten years in this environment, he leaves the home and starts a new life, but the traumatic experiences continue to haunt him. In the following decades, he builds a family and works while suppressing the memories of his childhood. It is only in recent years that he begins to share his story and advocate for addressing the issues in church-run homes. Florin confronts the institutions with his biography and sheds light on the systemic problems affecting many children in care. "Keinzelfall" is not only a personal narrative but also a powerful call for justice and societal responsibility.
