The reading book, printed in an easily readable font, takes children of the 30s, 40s, and 50s generation on a journey to the past. For this, Christina Herr has collected literary texts and supplemented them with stories from older people. Here, memories come alive again: of the people's receiver and the model railway, the resistance and reconstruction, the favorite games from childhood, the introduction of the Deutsche Mark, the miracle of Bern, coffee substitutes, and many other events. A collection of stories that brings the past of seniors back to life.
