When I was little, he often told me stories about his life as an immigrant in Germany after having been expelled from Poland. He would tell me how he was affected by the war when he was just a little boy and took care of his mother and brother. Before this project, I never got the chance to ask him what his favorite age was. My grandma died before I started this project and I so wish I could have asked her all these questions. It just became painfully clear that untold stories, memories, and advice vanish into empty air if we don’t take the time to ask for them.
