In the 1920s, the wooden house by the idyllic lake of Groß Glienicke was the holiday paradise for the Jewish Alexander family. For Elsie Alexander, Thomas Harding's grandmother, it remained a place for the soul despite persecution and expulsion by the Nazis. As if by a miracle, the house is still standing, for decades a refuge for five families whose fates reflect the German 20th century. After the end of the war, it was in the territory of the GDR. The wall was built through the garden, along the lake shore. Finally, it stood empty, deteriorated and was to be demolished. But Thomas Harding and his local comrades made sure that this did not happen. He decided to give the house back its history.
