Eine etwas andere DDR-Geschichte: ironisch, rotzig, zärtlich. Mit tiefgründigem Humor erzählt Bastienne Voss von der Zeit mit ihrem Opa Gustav, dem "Oberirren mit dem KZ-Koller", und ihrer Oma Wilma. "Zuerst hatte ich einen Großvater, dann eine Großmutter und dann Eltern und alles andere, was so zum Leben gehört. Großvater hatte ein Ding zu laufen. Dass er sich das im KZ weggeholt hatte, wusste ich damals noch nicht. Jedenfalls ließ er an dem Ding, das er zu laufen hatte, alle teilhaben, und so hatte auch Großmutter bald ein Ding zu laufen.

Un tel passif explique pour une bonne part que le neveu de Napoléon Ier a été rejeté, moqué et détesté, tout en restant méconnu.
