Interviewee description
From:
"Nachdem ich ihr das Manuskript des vorangehenden Interviews gegeben hatte, zeigte sie sich doch bereit, mir weitere Fragen zu beantworten. Den Text wollte sie jedoch lieber allein lesen, „weil sie sicher weinen müsse“. Da war er wieder, dieser Zwiespalt, indem sich diese Suche nach Erinnerungen bewegt: Sie bereitet Schmerzen – **ich veranlasse dazu** – und doch erklärt sich die Überlebende bereit. "
She was prepared to confront pain - **which I had arranged (???)** - and declared herself, a survivor, ready [to answer my questions].
- at which point the interview starts.
Your help is appreciated - TIA!

I make her do this
The search causes pain and the interviewer makes the interviewee do this search.

: Exactly. I wanted to give asker the chance to 'get' the sentence herself and one have one of those lovely penny-dropping moments, but there you go... ;-) // Don't worry, my comment was actually meant humorously... ;-)
