Detailed source research and precise scholarly implementation: Eighteen letters from the fronts of World War II as well as a unique, extensive correspondence between Vilma and Josef from the immediate post-war period become the starting point for personal life stories, embedded in socio-historical accounts and interpretations.
Themes of "genealogy and biographical origins," a "miniature of Steyr" in the interwar period, and the description of the "cosmos of Greater Vienna" in the time of the Nazi dictatorship are combined with reports on the material hardship of everyday life, the depiction of a postwar romance, literary and musical worlds of the time, questions about worldview and religion, the character assessment of the father, and the entertaining story about the purchase of a radio.
Written from a humanistic worldview and in the spirit of anti-fascism, creatively designed with many original private photographs, personal documents and watercolors.
