Dear German Expat,

Have you ever wondered why you took certain things with you into your new life abroad, but not others?

Researchers from King’s College London and the German Historical Institute London may be able to provide you with an answer. But they need to talk to you first! This is your chance to participate in an exciting oral history and exhibition project: Things we keep explores what things say about you and the times you are living in.

The commitment is small, but the response is intriguing and worth your time. If possible, send us a quick snapshot of your favourite object you brought with you from home to thingswekeep@kcl.ac.uk.

Many thanks!

Katrin Schreiter & Tobias Becker
