This story begins in pre-revolutionary Kyiv, where a young family moves from a small German town in search of happiness and prosperity. But life has its own plans, and the first entries appear on the pages of the Kruger family book. Three revolutions, two wars and a change of four generations. Love and betrayal. The horrors of concentration camps and the numbness of the touch of the “cannonball wind.” A long path of hereditary mistakes and illusory hopes. Who will be able to pay off the bills laid down by fate itself, so that the soul of Martha from Idar-Oberstein finds the long-awaited peace? The book contains obscene language!
