'Irmgard Horndasch, nee Marek, was born and raised in East Berlin and came to the West before the building of the Wall. She met and fell in love with Heinrich Bergmann, a missionary's son. They married in New Guinea in 1958 and the following year Heinrich was killed in an accident. As a widow Irmgard remained in New Guinea, opening a school and founding women's education. In 1975 she married the widow Helmut Horndasch and continued working with him in New Guinea until the end of the century' (from the preface). Translated from the German by Erich Flierl.
