She spoke very openly about her long life: about the difficult war years, the time in the GDR, but also about happy moments that she still remembers today. I was particularly touched by the fact that she had already lost her children and her husband and only has one grandson by her side today.
It was a pleasure for them to share their stories - and a great gift for me to be able to listen. Such encounters remind me how valuable it is to have time for each other, to listen and to honour the experiences of older people.“
