Willi Graf, the son of the director of a wholesale wine business, was born in Kuchenheim, Germany, on 2nd January, 1918. It was claimed that his father demanded "correct and pious behaviour" and that his mother "provided the warmth and tenderness that softened this severity". Graf later wrote: "I spent my early life in the circle of my parents and sisters. I never felt deprivation of any kind, since our family lived in rather good, if moderate circumstances... The relationship with my mother was extremely affectionate. She did everything for her children. Her concern for her family was her whole life." |
