My grandmother came to the Netherlands after WWI, at the age of eleven. Due to varying circumstances she did not see her mother, who lived in Vienna, for years. The first and last time she saw her mother was in 1952, on her first holiday to Austria. In 2000 my grandmother passed away. By studying and questioning her inheritance I want to make a a visual interpretation of these events, in order to make certain choices visible that were made by her. I have already completed research for different parts of the present project. For example, I have my grandparents’ documents from before WWII until 1952, as well as postcards and letters sent by family in Vienna to Holland between 1922 and 1945. Furthermore, I found birth certificates and other documents which lead back to six generations earlier. Interviews with my Austrian family have given me insight into the personal business and lives of my grandmother and great-grandmother.
