Lernen aus der Geschichte e.V. http://www.lernen-aus-der-geschichte.de Der folgende Text ist auf dem Webportal http://www.lernen-aus-der-geschichte.de veröffentlicht. Das mehrsprachige Webportal publiziert fortlaufend Informationen zur historischpolitischen Bildung in Schulen, Gedenkstätten und anderen Einrichtungen zur Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Schwerpunkte bilden der Nationalsozialismus, der Zweite Weltkrieg sowie die Folgegeschichte in den Ländern Europas bis zu den politischen Umbrüchen 1989. Dabei nimmt es Bildungsangebote in den Fokus, die einen Gegenwartsbezug der Geschichte herausstellen und bietet einen Erfahrungsaustausch über historischpolitische Bildung in Europa an. Günter Discher, born March 20, 1925, in Hamburg, became a fan of swing music early on [see Audio/Video]. He succeeded in avoiding service in the Hitler Youth. He also managed to get around the difficulties in obtaining jazz records, difficulties imposed by Nazi prohibitions and limitations. He became an expert in the phonograph record black market. By having soldier friends, who were stationed in occupied countries, send him records through the military postal system he was able to supply himself with the coveted disks. He sold them to friends and fellow fans, and also to the dance halls of the jazz scene in St. Pauli. For these reasons, the Gestapo arrested him when he was seventeen years old. He was interned in the youth concentration camp of Moringen as Number 852 on the basis of the following Schutzhaftbefehl [Order for Protective Custody]. (In Exhibit Catalog. "Wir hatten noch gar nicht angefangen zu leben." [We Had Barely Begun to Live], Moringen, 1992. p.23.)
