After living in Hrodna, Warsaw, and Vilnius, German historian Felix Ackermann offers a unique perspective on this corner of Europe.

Through everyday experiences and encounters, he explores the region’s multilingual and multicultural reality beyond national myths and stereotypes.

From taking a driving test and learning Lithuanian to teaching at the European Humanities University and discussing the future of the region with local residents, Ackermann weaves together stories of Belarusians, Lithuanians, Jews, Karaims, Germans, Syrians, and many others. The result is a vivid portrait of contemporary Europe in all its complexity.
