The photo album matches text excerpts from the book of the same name, Die Reise nach Pommern.
The original narrative, composed in the late 1980s, is written before the fall of socialism-communism in eastern Europe. https://archive.org/details/die-reise...
The author presents an endearing memorial to his place of origin, the former province of Pommern, east of the Oder River. There are descriptions of the present (1980s) locations and population, complimented by memories from the gentle lifestyle and Heimat culture before the war.
This is an inviting book for anyone fluent in German. The author has written a dedication, in book form, that should be retained and re-read after the initial first impression.
