Description

Walking with Oma seamlessly intertwines a picturesque journey through the serene Elbe River Valley of Germany with a profound exploration of identity and the reconciliation of intergenerational trauma. Following in the footsteps of her Jewish grandmother, affectionately referred to as “Oma”, the author embarks on a 600-kilometer trek, engaging in poignant conversations with survivors of World War II, individuals who may have crossed paths with Oma during her arduous journey from Theresienstadt Concentration Camp in the Czech Republic to Hamburg, Germany in 1945. Amidst the tranquil landscapes and delightful encounters with locals, livestock and nature's creatures, the narrative delicately balances the weight of history with moments of levity, warmth and humanity. Offering a poignant tale of reconciliation with the past against a backdrop of forgiveness and acceptance, Walking with Oma will resonate profoundly with those grappling with displacement and identity. For enthusiasts of both introspective narratives and captivating travelogues, Walking with Oma offers an experience both enriching and enlightening.
