Summary/Abstract: NATASCHA WODIN’S family story illuminates the overwhelming extent of forced labour in Germany during the years of National Socialism. This aspect of history has been neglected so far in the German cultural memory. In this present interview the author presents more information about her research and her work on her last two generational stories She Came from Mariupol (2017) and Anywhere in this Darkness (2018). WODIN recalls the problematic life with her family history and introduces us to her writing strategies. The interview is preceded by an introduction to her work.
