Also the anthology "Moved in. Flight and Expulsion - Memories of the Second Generation" ("Zugezogen. Flucht und Vertreibung – Erinnerungen der zweiten Generation", Verlag Ferdinand Schöningh 2016) deals with this topic. In her portrait volume "Cracks. Thirty German biographies" ("Risse. Dreißig deutsche Lebensläufe", Lukas Verlag 2019) numerous biographies connected with Silesia come to life.
