A family epic between memory, history, and Viennese society
Andreas J. Obrecht presents with Annemarie Imhof. My Grandmother, the Baroness a compelling blend of family history, historical reflection, and literary self-affirmation on stage. In the Helene-Petrenz-Hall of the Ernst-Abbe-Library Jena, a reading atmosphere is created that connects personal memory with the cultural memory of Europe.
A story that intertwines private origins and contemporary history
The author, a habilitated sociologist, development researcher, and writer, reflects in his book on the biography of his grandmother Annemarie Imhof and on a Viennese family history marked by conversion, social ascent, Jewish heritage, and the burdens of National Socialism. The narrative form combines anecdotes, flashbacks, and historical contexts into a literary experience of remarkable density.
Language art with historical resonance
Obrecht's work operates at the intersection of literary quality and cultural-historical research. The reading not only promises biographical closeness but also a reflective author encounter with a text that intertwines Viennese society, family narratives, and European contemporary history.
