Two women, 100 years of German and European history. Dagmar Reemtsma is nearly 90; she is a war child. Her granddaughter, Luisa Neubauer, grew up in peacetime, but her generation is threatened by ecological destruction. Both are united in their commitment to combatting powerlessness in the face of the world's crises and wars. In this book, they share their personal and political stories for the first time—a bond across generations.

Luisa Neubauer has a special relationship with her grandmother, Dagmar Reemtsma. Since she was a child, they have discussed everything together—personal matters as well as the big questions of history, politics, and society. They began to reflect early on what privileges mean and how to address them. They were born into very different and very difficult times and had to find their own stance early on: Dagmar Reemtsma's father was murdered in a concentration camp; she married young and learned too late that her father-in-law from the new family, the Reemtsmas, was complicit in the Nazi dictatorship. Luisa Neubauer had to come to terms with the fact that the country in which she grew up does not protect her generation from the climate crisis. When she started her studies to better understand ecological disasters, her father passed away. However, succumbing to powerlessness was never an option for either of them. The war in Ukraine erupted right in the middle of their discussions for this book. Neither of them would have believed that they would have to witness war in Europe again. Once more, they are faced with questions of stance, questions of responsibility, and the question of what to oppose to powerlessness.
