Abstract
Review of the monograph of the team of authors Sandra Kreisslová, Jana Nosková and Michal Pavlásek "Takové normální rodinné historky" : obrazy migrace a migrující obrazy v rodinné paměti (Prague, Argo 2019), which acquaints readers with the issue of family memory illustrated by four population groups the authors conducted field research. It seeks to capture not only the contents of memories as they are passed on between generations of individual families, but also the mechanisms and strategies for their transmission and the way they are interpreted by other generations within the family.
The authors focused on four groups of the population who share the experience of migration in the period after World War II: Germans living in the Czech Republic and Czechs living in Croatia, Germans forcibly displaced from Czechoslovakia and Czech resettlers from Croatia. They try to understand how the oldest generation remembers these events and what of their experiences and how they pass on to the younger generations within the family.
