Is Vienna Home?

Last fall, Nicole and I traveled to Vienna, Austria, my father’s birthplace. There is a lot to say about that trip and I wasn’t doing a blog at that time, but I recently put a short video together with some of the highlights.

Growing up, Austria was not really a consideration, it was just some European country where grandma was born. When I went to live in Europe for a year after college, I went to Madrid. Vienna never even entered my mind. But now as I research their lives and our shared history, I wonder, is Vienna home?

I am especially grateful to Elizabeth Sechser, who took an interest in the building where she works, and my great-grandmother once lived, and helped us make profound connections.
