Das sollte doch eine Freude sein

The Joy of Family Research - Heinrich Ahlemeyer traces the history of his family in Bielefeld and the district of Verden. In doing so, he constructs a literary edifice that allows readers to experience historical events and destinies up close through various windows, much like in a film. On his journey of discovery, he makes it tangible how deeply the individual life paths in his family are intertwined with the epochal movements of German history. Along the way, he uncovers surprising finds.
