00:04:24.319 –> 00:04:32.445 The values my parents instilled upon … well, at least upon me – I don’t know about my brother –
00:05:26.597 –> 00:05:32.880 He is around. He is somewhere in Berlin. I don’t have much contact with him.
00:06:55.680 –> 00:07:04.240 Just after his high school diploma and then he spent all the war years in Russia. He got heavily
00:07:04.240 –> 00:07:10.640 injured twice. He almost died and then he spent three years in the Russian prison camp after that.
00:07:11.440 –> 00:07:22.160 So he came back in 1947 and he screamed until I was 15 about. He screamed every night dreaming
00:07:22.160 –> 00:07:28.627 of the war. Every night I would wake up from my father screaming from the top of his lungs.
00:07:29.600 –> 00:07:35.043 That made a big impression, a big impression on me.
00:08:02.152 –> 00:08:06.160 They went through incredible times and when I see what’s
00:08:06.160 –> 00:08:13.440 happening now in the world with the war in Ukraine and in the Middle East, I’m just thinking how
00:08:13.440 –> 00:08:20.720 is it possible that we never learn? How is that humanly possible? Because I grew up with the
00:08:20.720 –> 00:08:24.667 results of what that does to you.

8:02-8:24: Inna’s insistence to insert the quote «.. how is it possible that we don’t learn» (08:13) may be a hint in which direction the main-feature goes.

Arjava and I both are sons of soldiers in WWII – and pacifists. Does this have potential for a dramatic side-story to underline the need for peace and Inna’s message?
04:23 and 5:26: Arjava’s brother played a pivotal role in Arjava’s Reiki history – one which this interviews sheds thus far unknown information. Arjava seems to have been in awe of his brother but eventually was betrayed by him. Is Arjava carrying a grudge? These scenes seems to hint at the tension.
