Tears and heartache: The Golden Bachelor and his brave ladies

The first episode of the "Golden Bachelor" on RTL Plus caused emotional moments and unexpected tensions. Franz Stark (73) provided the first rose to the 18 candidates, among whom some severe strokes of fate. The description of Mona (63), who opened the loss of her oldest son, who died of cancer seven years ago, openly addressed. She confessed with tears: "I'm honest too, I would have exchanged!" This caused other participants to show solidarity in their conversations. So Susanne (63) told her husband, who died of pulmonary embolism in 2016. But not everyone showed compassion. Candidate Sonja (61) expressed little empathy and confronted Liese directly with the challenges that other candidates also had to master in life. This led to the first night of the roses that Sonja and the shy Sabine (67) did not have to leave the show, as Today.at reported.

historical connections

The events in the entertainment not only reflect personal fates, but also touch historical topics. Hans Hirzel, a key player of the resistance group "White Rose" from the Nazi era, also showed the weight of fate in his life. In a courageous fight against the Nazi regime, Hirzel, who was arrested in 1943 at the age of 18, suffered from the consequences of his actions. His commitment to justice and humanity is immortalized today in the Ulm thinking facility Weißen Rose and illustrates how diverse the dealings with suffering and loss is. According to wikipedia ), Hirzel was not only active in the resistance, but later also in politics, until his death in 2006.

These two strands - the emotional stories of the participants in the "Golden Bachelor" and the historical conscience of Hans Hirzel - combine in the presentation of loss, love and eternal striving for hope. While women dare to find a new love, the story of Hirzel shows that the fight against injustice and the pursuit of a better world should never be considered to be unsuccessful.
