In this book, social science researcher Alexandra Saemmer embarks on a personal and documentary journey to reconstruct the hidden history of her Sudeten family. Through rigorous investigation, the author explores a past marked by the annexation to the Third Reich, forced migration, and family silences, questioning her grandfather's participation in the Wehrmacht and the experiences of the women in her lineage.
The work delves into the "gray zones" of European history, combining intimate narrative with sociological analysis. It is a profound reflection on memory, generational transmission, and the weight of secrets on identity, offering a moving look at how individuals navigate the consequences of the major 20th-century conflicts.
