Born in the south of Germany during the mid-1950s, I grew up in the tensions of parents with a [post] World War II background and the political and social re-orientations within the younger generations. My parents were farmers by passion–starting their family life with solid economic and social foundations, albeit against the fragile political background of WWII. My two eldest siblings were born at ...

Panel-based mixed ...
