One netizen published photographs of finds she discovered in her great-aunt Greta's old chest. The chest was inherited along with the house of my grandmother, who was born in East Prussia in 1921, but moved to Germany in 1940.
This is the same chest.
And this is the key to it.
The lion on the handle is almost invisible due to time.
Inside was this:
These are letters, photos and postcards that Grandma Greta received while living in Hamburg.
There was also Hitler's book Mein Kampf.
There were also photos of two Hitler Youth fighters.
A postcard from those years.
And this is a photograph of Greta's destroyed house, dated 1944.
And here is such a cute little book.
