At the age of 105 Marie Olschewski is looking back on her life. Born in 1897 it spans across an entire century \u2013 the 20th century that has challenged her with two wars, three flights and the loss of her home. All the more moving to see how the farmer\u2019s wife and mother of nine masters everyday life. With her detailed descriptions and gentle tone Marie Olschewski revives a now sunken world \u2013 Masuria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
