In this autoethnographic text, the author reflects on his grandmother’s life and embeds it into the broader societal and historical developments of her generation. Although the author’s grandmother was not a person of public interest, her life story leads right into the heart of many significant events and turning points of the history of the 20th century in Germany and beyond. Listening to the story of her life can serve as a starting point for writing a counter-history that investigates how the center of historical events looks like when viewed from the periphery.
