When I was a child, my parents and my grandmother told me stories of their childhood and youth. I loved to hear those stories in the evening before bed even though some of them were very sad - their experiences during the Second World War. I now regret that I didn't listen more carefully or ask more questions.
I also regret that I didn't do the same thing with my own children. Instead, I read them stories from books of fiction.
It is much more important for children to learn their family history than stories of some fictional characters. I want to correct this now, so the idea of a memoir was born.
