»Wir Ostpreußen – Eine ganz gewöhnliche deutsche Familiengeschichte«. Buchvorstellung & Lesung mit dem Autor Jochen Buchsteiner

In the organizer's words:

For more than two decades, political science graduate Jochen Buchsteiner worked as a foreign correspondent for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung in (almost) all parts of the world, including New Delhi in India, Jakarta and London, after starting out as a journalist at the weekly newspaper Die Zeit. Since his return to Germany, he has mainly written for the "Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung". Buchsteiner has also published several books.

In his latest book, the author, who was born in 1965, confronts his own family history, which is based not least on notes made by his elderly grandmother about her escape from Götzlack in East Prussia (around 60 kilometers south-east of Königsberg/Kaliningrad, now Krutoi Jar in the Russian oblast of Kaliningrad). An unusual book about an "ordinary German family history".
