Title: For Hanna
Description: After my father?s death, he left me a box full of photos and documents. That?s how I discovered the hidden family history and I understood the task that had been assigned to me. As I learned about my family?s war history, I saw similarities with Kosovo, where loved ones, families, Serbs and Albanians in wartime came to be diametrically opposed. And still are.0For five years, we took research trips to Kosovo and I photographed the victims, bereaved families and loved ones. I compiled the story of these individual fates in a book titled ?For Hanna, Future Stories from the Past ?? A touching document of war, dislocation, reconciliation and hope."0- Willem Poelstra.
