Barbara Schulz was this Sunday, October 23 one of the guests of A Sunday in the countryside. The new France 2 program presented by Frédéric Lopez. For this first issue, the 50-year-old actress was surrounded by Charlotte de Turckheim and rappers BigFlo and Oli.
Faced with Frédéric Lopez, the companion of Arié Elmaleh confided in her childhood where she was separated from her brother and her father due to the divorce of her parents and also on his German origins. His grandfather Werner Schulz was a soldier in the Wehrmacht, a German army in the 1930s. It disbanded in 1946 after World War II. “My grandfather was a soldier in the Wehrmacht and my grandmother a French nurse. He sliced his toe in a forest in the East. He had an accident. They sent him to the hospital. . He saw my grandmother and they fell in love,” unveiled Barbara Schulz.
It was not possible to have a child with a German
The actress then recounted the context in which his father Christian (deceased in 2005) was born in 1947. “She [sa grand-mère Marguerite] gave birth in a clandestine home. My father was born. I discovered a long time ago that it was declared under X, because it was not possible to have a child with a German. And after the war, German prisoners had the choice between returning or staying, and becoming free workers. And my grandfather, they got married and had another child.”
Barbara Schulz notably declared that she became aware of her German origins when she “started studying World War II in school”. “I said, ‘But, Grandpa, are you German?'”, she recalled. If the actress was finally able to get used to her German origins, it was however more complicated for her father: “When he was little at school, there were parents who snatched the other children saying to him: ‘Don’t talk to him, the Bosch’s son’. But even me, long after, when they said to me: ‘C ‘is German?’ [A propos de son nom de famille]it was not pleasant to say yes”she concluded.
