Reading: Wolkenschwer by Eva Holzmair

In "Wolkenschwer", Eva Holzmair gradually introduces us to the world of growing old and being old. In a very personal way, the author tells us what it means to gradually lose a parent to dementia as a daughter, what hurdles she and her mother have to overcome and how they manage not to lose themselves and, above all, their sense of humor.

The information evening for family caregivers will take place from 16:30 - 18:30, where you can get information about the new life situation.

At the same time, the author gives us an insight into the past of a now almost extinct war generation, into the Lower Austria and Vienna of that time and into the emotional world of a generation that was characterized by renunciation and a sense of tradition.

A mother-daughter story that is both a painful and touching reminder of the transience of life and yet, in its uniqueness, refers to us all: to (collective) memory, dying and death.
