This
website is a very personal one.
In the
heart of mine, as well as in the heart of this story are my
grandparents. Above, you can see a picture of them, taken in the early
thirties, when they were still young and happy living in their hometown
Königsberg.
You will meet them again in their family's story.
When this photograph was taken they couldn't foresee the very hard
period of life they and their town would be faced with a couple of years
later - such a short time after they had even survived a war.
Both of them are not with us anymore. My grandparents died both being
more than eighty years old far from their birthplace. Königsberg ‘died’
being 689 years old within two nights only.
But they will keep on living in our minds and all of us must take care
that towns never again will be destroyed by bombs and the people lose
their home and existence because of it.
I didn't intend to make an English version when I published this
website. Now I know that there is international interest as well. The
knowledge and interest will be different abroad and consequently the
German and the English version of this site, concerning the
contents should be different too. Every feedback will help me to deliver
information close to your interest.
I'm "Just Married" with this experience. The seed is in soil and every
plant needs time to grow.
Kindest
