Elän idän ja lännen risteyskohdassa. Lapsuuteni ja teini-ikäni oli kommunismin aikaa, nuorena ja aikuisena olen elänyt demokratiassa. Mitä tulevaisuus tuokaan tullessaan? Ihmisiä kaikkialta Euroopasta kannustetaan kertomaan omia tarinoitaan ”My House of European History” -sivustollamme. Magdalenan tarina kertoo eräästä Euroopan suuresta muutoksesta, kommunismin rauhanomaisesta lopusta ja pääsystä sorron alta vapauteen. Se on kertomus vapauden ja demokratian kaipuusta – ja siitä, että Euroopassa tarvitaan vahvoja naisia.

Niin teki myös Ingrid, jonka tarina käsittelee hollantilaisuutta. Hän kertoo, kuinka rakkaus historiaa kohtaan auttoi häntä löytämään itsensä.
