The Unspeakable: Breaking my Family's Silence surrounding the Holocaust

Hanefeld, Nicola: - Nicola Hanefeld was born in 1958 in London and grew up in England, unaware of her Jewish heritage. She has lived in Freiburg in south-west Germany since 1981. Shortly before her father died, he shared never previously mentioned facts about his family. Her father's revelations sent Nicola on a heart-breaking journey to discover the Holocaust trauma silently embedded in her family. As she is fluent in German, she could understand the historical documents in German which surprisingly came to light during her research. Nicola has a degree in biology, a PhD in maternal health and is a freelance Alexander Technique coach. She's a mother of three grown-up children and has three grandchildren.
