My grandfather was born in Czechoslovakia and came over to Hungary illegally when he was 20. His motherland appears as a mystical paradise in the family legend.  But how do I connect to this distant past and my grandfather’s homeland? How can I remember someone else’s memories and traumas? In my series, I am searching for answers to these questions.
