My competition was about...
…the Mennonites, a protestant free church, in southwest Germany. I asked myself three questions:
How did the Mennonite’s community develop? In what way are Mennonites different? How did my family discern and how did they handle their disparity?

My competition was about...
…illegitimate children of SS-soldiers after the Second World War. I asked my grandfather and his half sister because they are both illegitimate children of the same SS – soldier. The two met for the first time in 2007 and it is a really interesting story how they found out about each other.
