Book reading "You don't know. Family secrets in the GDR"
Katrin Oldenburg was born in the Harz Mountains in the GDR (1976). As a war granddaughter, the author has been dealing with the topics of family history and family secrets in the GDR for many years. In the course of her research, she came across a wide variety of reasons why certain experiences in the families were covered by a cloak of silence. What is not named apparently does not exist - to protect one's own soul and to supposedly protect others. At a time when more and more people are conducting family research, this book is intended to encourage people to ask questions at the right time in order to find answers. In this book, more than 20 war children and war grandchildren break their silence about war and the post-war period, expulsion, people smuggling and flight, about atrocities and hatred, about homelessness, indefinite grief, loneliness and speechlessness, persecution and broken hearts. You wouldn't guess it - exciting and authentic!
