The article narrates a story about Liselott von Obereigner (later Liza Hribar), whose request for her seventh birthday was to obtain an autograph of the then eight-year-old emperor's son Otto von Habsburg. In 1920 her mother, painter Elsa von Obereigner, was still searching with the Red Cross for her husband Heinrich von Obereigner, a captain in the 17th Infantry Regiment, also named "Crown Prince Regiment" in honor of the heir to the throne. Heinrich was wounded on the Dukla Pass already in 1914 and taken into Russian captivity. The imperial family, having been forced to leave Austria after the end of the war, lived in Switzerland at the time. A Ljubljana native, Augusta Borota von Budabran, submitted little Liselott's wish to the emperor's secretary, Emmerich Schonta v. Seedank. The reader is struck by little Otto's response to the family story and his deep sense of responsibility for everyone affected by the war.
