Robert Lembke: The dark truth behind the TV idol reveals!

München, Deutschland - The ARD documentary "Robert Lembke-who am I?" tells the moving and complex history of the well-known TV presenter Robert Lembke, who as a "rate of rate" in the popular program "What am I?" was famous. Lembke, who died in 1989, is part of German television history and contributed significantly to the entertainment of millions. But behind his smiling face a sad secret, which is now discussed in the documentation. The documentary offers an impressive portrait of a man whose life was strongly shaped by the horrors of National Socialism. According to OE24 , the documentation on Whit Monday at 11:35 p.m. is already broadcast on TV and is already available in the ARD-Mediathek.

Robert Lembke was born in 1913 as Robert Weichselbaum in Munich. His father left the family early, which caused Lembke's childhood to be shaped by uncertainty. According to juedische-allgemeine.de his father was an Austrian Jew, which Lembke characterized in National Socialism as "half-year". His life was strongly influenced by the effects of this identity and the trauma experienced.

the trauma and the silence

The document also illuminates how Lembke's traumatic experiences during National Socialism influenced his life and that of his family. He fled with his family in 1944 and hid on a hayloft to escape the Holocaust. This time left profound traces. Lembke never spoke about his origin and the experiences associated with it throughout his life, which was a considerable mental burden for his relatives. In the documentary, his granddaughter Linda Benedikt describes the post -traumatic stress disorders that caused her grandfather's silence in her family.

In addition, the family trauma, which was created by Lembke's authoritarian silence, also deals with the documentation. His daughter Ingrid divides her shattering memories about the effects of his silence on family culture. Lembke put himself at the center of his programs and was a central figure at the Bavarian Radio, where he was also responsible for the format "The Hour of the Rained".

a life in contradiction

Although Lembke was considered a charismatic moderator, who has his audience with humorous questions, such as "which Schweinderl would like?" entertained, he suffered from the memories and the pain of his past. According to Zeit.de it was difficult for Lembke to reconcile this part of his life with his public persona. The document invites the viewers to reflect on the contradictions and complexities of his life.

In a moving context, the documentary asks not only about Lembke's life, but also about the inheritance of the Holocaust and the associated, often unspoken topics that affect many subsequent generations. The film offers a deep insight into the history and life of a man who, despite guaranteed heat in the spotlight, kept his inner trauma hidden.
