Kyrkans Tidning i onsdags.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I onsdags \u00e4gnade Kyrkans Tidning sitt mittuppslag \u00e5t Judiths och Josefs och de andra mission\u00e4rernas utresa — det var ju just i Kristi himmelsf\u00e4rds-helgen som b\u00e5ten la ut fr\u00e5n G\u00f6teborgs hamn, s\u00e5 nu firade vi jubileet igen, p\u00e5 r\u00e4tt kyrko\u00e5rsdag (tidigare har jag ju firat datumet h\u00e4r p\u00e5 Kyrkkaffebloggen).<\/p>\n

Min kusin Markus<\/strong>, som leder resor i bland annat Kenya<\/a>, har skrivit av Judiths minnesanteckningar om resan, nedtecknade m\u00e5nga \u00e5r senare. Vars\u00e5goda!<\/p>\n

Fr\u00e5n G\u00f6teborg till Kap, 18 maj – 15 juni 1944.\u00a0<\/strong>Vad var det d\u00e5 f\u00f6r en b\u00e5t som strax skulle l\u00e4gga ut fr\u00e5n hamnen, och vad var det f\u00f6r passagerare?<\/p>\n

De krigf\u00f6rande l\u00e4nderna skulle g\u00f6ra en krigsf\u00e5ngeutv\u00e4xling i R\u00f6da Korsets regi och med hj\u00e4lp av Svenska Amerikalinjens Drottningholm. Denna b\u00e5t var helt vitm\u00e5lad, och p\u00e5 sidorna stod det m\u00e5lat i stora svarta bokst\u00e4ver PROTECTED. F\u00f6r att det inte skulle bli n\u00e5got missf\u00f6rst\u00e5nd, n\u00e4r det g\u00e4llde ub\u00e5tar och annat s\u00e5dant, skulle b\u00e5ten g\u00e5 fullt upplyst om n\u00e4tterna, f\u00f6rmodligen den enda upplysta b\u00e5ten p\u00e5 v\u00e4rldshaven vid den tiden.<\/p>\n

Bes\u00e4ttningen p\u00e5 250 man var knappast fulltalig vid resan.<\/p>\n

B\u00e5ten var best\u00e4md att g\u00e5 till Sydafrika f\u00f6r att h\u00e4mta 1000 internerade personer som skulle f\u00f6ras till Lissabon i Portugal. D\u00e4r skulle de utv\u00e4xlas mot 1000 personer fr\u00e5n den allierade sidan.<\/p>\n

Men nu var vi i alla fall ombord p\u00e5 en stor, fin atlant\u00e5ngare. F\u00f6r att vi inte skulle se alltf\u00f6r mycket av kriget, hade det f\u00f6r v\u00e5r resa lagts en v\u00e4stlig rutt: f\u00f6rbi F\u00e4r\u00f6arna, upp mot Island, ung. tv\u00e5 dagsresor fr\u00e5n New York och sedan s\u00f6derut, inte s\u00e5 l\u00e5ngt fr\u00e5n Sydamerika.<\/p>\n

Vi skulle l\u00e4gga till i Kapstaden, men eftersom japanska ub\u00e5tar opererade d\u00e4rutanf\u00f6r lades kursen 100 sj\u00f6mil s\u00f6der om Sydafrika och sedan upp till Port Elizabeth vid Indiska Oceanen.<\/p>\n

D\u00e4r landsteg vi den 15 juni 1944.<\/p>\n

N\u00e4r vi passerade Norge kom tyska officerare ombord f\u00f6r kontroll. Alla pass samlades in, och vi st\u00e4lldes upp p\u00e5 led. Det var en sp\u00e4nd tystnad som r\u00e5dde. Endast de tyska officerarna gick kontrollerande efter leden. De j\u00e4mf\u00f6rde oss med v\u00e5ra passfoton, och vi f\u00f6rs\u00f6kte ju undvika att v\u00e4ja undan med blicken, n\u00e4r de sp\u00e4nde \u00f6gonen i oss.<\/p>\n

Varje dag slog man p\u00e5 en stor klocka p\u00e5 d\u00e4ck kl. 12. Men en middag var den tyst. Inga on\u00f6diga ljud skulle s\u00e4ndas ut \u00f6ver havet. L\u00e5ngt bort i fj\u00e4rran kunde vi se den ena fartygssilhuetten efter den andra. Alla var som gr\u00e5a sp\u00f6kskepp. Josef r\u00e4knade till 80 fartyg.<\/p>\n

N\u00e4r vi l\u00e4ngre fram l\u00e4ste p\u00e5 anslagstavlan om invasionen i Normandie, f\u00f6rstod vi att vi hade sett en liten, liten del av en stor armada.<\/p>\n

F\u00f6r \u00f6vrigt s\u00e5g vi inte s\u00e5 mycket p\u00e5 haven. D\u00e4remot var det s\u00e4kert m\u00e5nga \u00f6gon som f\u00f6ljde v\u00e5ra f\u00f6rehavanden genom ub\u00e5tstornen eller periskopen.<\/p>\n

Vad blev d\u00e5 mitt f\u00f6rsta intryck av afrikanerna, n\u00e4r vi steg iland? De flesta bland dessa f\u00f6rsta var ju hamnarbetare. Jo, det var m\u00e4rkligt nog deras vackra, v\u00e4lformade och ganska sm\u00e5 h\u00e4nder. Och n\u00e4r de pratade och gestikulerade, s\u00e5 hade de s\u00e5 mjuka handr\u00f6relser som en dirigent kan ha. Ett par \u00e5r senare, n\u00e4r jag satt p\u00e5 ett m\u00f6te i Tanzania, kom jag pl\u00f6tsligt p\u00e5 att m\u00e4nniskorna, som jag s\u00e5g omkring mig, var dem som det hade st\u00e5tt om i skolb\u00f6ckerna.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
