Instr- Professor F. Lee
Composition Project #3
I will be using Marianne Hirsch's style of postmemory. Postmemory is a
memory one has of a specific event, but did not experience that event.
I will be focusing on a postmemory I have of how my grandmother and her
family left Germany when times got hard for the Jews at the beginning of
what is now known as the Holocaust. Specifically focusing on Kristallnacht,
also called the "Night of Broken Glass", which occurred on November 9-
10, 1938. On November 10th all the men in Hamburg, Germany, including my
great grandfather, were gathered up and transported to a concentration
camp near Berlin. After my grandfather was released, my family made the
decision to leave the country.
