I've lived in Australia since 1959 together with my husband Peter. We have four children, eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. I started blogging because I wanted to publish some of my childhood memories. I am blogging now also some of my other memories. I like to publish some photos too as well as a little bit of a diary from the present time. Occasionally I publish a story with a bit of fiction in it. Peter, my husband, is publishing some of his stories under berlioz1935.wordpress.com

Beautiful family pictures that are treasured down through the years Uta.
I love the picture of your grandparents house, I can imagine it sitting in a heavily wooded area with lots of beautiful scenery.
Thanks for the comment, dear Emu.
The grandparents Golden Wedding Anniversary was nearly 73 years ago. I can still remember all the people in the picture and dfo know them by name. The Golden Wedding celebrations took place in the grandparents’ house, which was this house in the picture. Yes, there was a park surrounding it. To the right of the house was grandfather’s furniture factory. At the back of the property was an extensive garden area. I especially remember all the beautiful fruit that did grow there in summer. When I was there in the summer of 1942, the family probably had not been in that place for very long yet. I think the grandparents’ previous house and factory had to be vacated. For some reason they had not been allowed to stay there. In the end they lost everything when they had to flee in the midst of winter in January of 1945. They then continued to live as very poor refugees in Germany.
Wonder if that old building would still be standing Uta.
Cheers.
Hi Emu, some cousins of mine were for a visit in Lodz some time ago and found out that a registry office was in that building. It is a solidly built house. I would think that it is still standing.
