Dalai Lama's tutor in 1940's was Heinrich Harrer, a member of the 'Schutzstaffel'.
Heinrich Harrer 簡介
With the rise of the Nazi Party (NSDAP) in Austria, Harrer became a member of the Sturmabteilung (SA, or "Brownshirts"), in October 1933. He held the rank of Oberscharführer (Sergeant). Harrer made no secret of his allegiance to National Socialism and was photographed with Adolf Hitler. In March 1938, Austria was annexed by the German regime, as a part of Grossdeutschland ("Greater Germany"). Harrer joined the Schutzstaffel (SS, or "Blackshirts") that same year.
After traversing southwestern Tibet and stopping for extended periods in various towns, Harrer and Aufschnaiter entered Lhasa in February 1946. Kopp and Treipel had gone their separate ways, but Harrer and Aufschnaiter would remain in Tibet for a total of almost seven years. Harrer became a friend of the young Dalai Lama Tenzin Gyatso, who had summoned him to the Potala Palace after having seen him repeatedly in the streets below the palace through his telescope. Harrer taught the Dalai Lama (who was eleven years old when they met) much about the outside world and effectively served as his tutor. Harrer returned to Austria in 1950.
After the 1997 release of the film adaptation of Seven Years in Tibet, questions were raised about Harrer's Nazi past. He acknowledged that his membership of the party had been a "stupid mistake." |
