Heidrun Wolff

My Omi (German name for Grandma) was born in Holzminden, a little town in Germany, her Father was a writer for a newspaper and her mother was his secretary. They married in Holzminden and had Heidrun. Omi's family is German, her mother is from east-germany and my father came from Bunzlau, which belonged to germany however after world war 2 it belonged to poland. Her grandparents were owners of a big farm near the BALTIC SEA near Rostock, a city in east Germany. They had 5 children, one of them was her mother. During the war her grandparents were forced to flee their home because russian soldiers were taking peoples wives and killing rich farmers. Heidrun's grandmother had a place in Salzgitter, a town in north Germany so the family moved in. When Heidrun was two years old, her mum, dad and her moved into Dusseldorf, a big town in west Germany. They lived in a very little flat in the middle of the city. Heidruns family was always protestant. But her aunt married a catholic husband and she became a catholic too. Unfortunately, Omi's husband died too early with cancer, this was very hard for the whole family.
