This should finally happen only weeks after this postcard was sent. It was part of preparing Heinrich for the visit. Why it took so long for this meeting to take place is not entirely clear to me yet but it may well have been a class issue. Charlotte, on the other hand, had long met Heinrich's family in Chemnitz.“

Charlotte lived for her work, and she was very passionate about it, be it in the 20s when she was a Bode Gymnastik teacher, be it as a student of Elsa Gindler and Heinrich Jacoby or later on, as many of us have experienced, when she lived in the United States. As I continue to explore Charlotte’s early life it is becoming increasingly evident that her vocation must have had a big impact on the relationship with her first husband, Heinrich Selver... I know from Charlotte how much she loved coming home after a days work to join Heinrich in their apartment when he was still a student at the university of Leipzig: “I remember the evenings when I came home late from the work. I entered the living room, cigarette smoke was hanging in the air and there sat Heinrich, working very quietly and I came from the very lively lessons into this stillness.”“

So erklärt sich auch, dass im Katalog der DNB als Verfasser seiner Dissertation Henrik Selver steht, dem aber keine weiteren Personendaten zugeordnet sind, während dem Eintrag Heinrich Selver korrekte Personendaten zugeordnet sind, aber keine Verweise auf Publikationen. Nachfolgend wird bis zu Selvers Emigration der Vorname Heinrich verwendet, danach Henry.

Irmi Selver: My Memoirs. S. 15. ‚At noon on November 18th there was an enormous explosion, followed mediately by a second one. As the boat sank rapidly, I was carried by a huge wave to the only portion of the deck that still remained above water. Even though I was covered with oil, I managed to make it to the one life boat that had been cut free. When we were found by an English minesweeper we were hauled aboard with the help of a rope. The next thing I knew I was shivering with my niece Ilse in one of the machine rooms of the minesweeper. Slowly I grasped what had happened. I had lost my husband, my son and my daughter. Thirteen years of happiness had been wiped out in minutes.‘ An Karl Goeritz und die Kinder erinnern in Chemnitz verlegte Stolpersteine: Zum Gedenken an Karl Goeritz und seine Kinder
