Dearest Mama. The Story of a Family A Staged Reading with Doris Weiner, Naemi Latzer and Fabian Bachleitner (music), in German.

"When I retired as a teacher a few years ago, I finally began to put old papers and documents in order. In the process, letters I had written to my parents from Swedish exile fell into my hands..."

This is how Daisy Koeb (1927-2019), whose ancestors came from Hohenems, describes how the work on her book "Dearest Mama" began. From the letters of the girl who escaped the Nazis on a Kindertransport, the story of a Jewish family emerged. A story of happiness, pain and sorrow. But also of hope and confidence.
