The family visited Gardelegen, the city of her father’s ancestry, in 2002. She was eight years old, the youngest of three.
Her father had arranged a dinner with the mayor. Their fathers had played together as children, and he wanted to learn what he could about the man he never knew.
There was a boy at the hotel. His parents were also visiting the city. He told her about a fire many years ago that killed many people.
Her father had not told her about the fire. She wondered if he knew about it.
