abroad,&#8221; my grandfather Zenun said to his son, my uncle, in the city of Augsburg, Germany, in 1990. &#8220;I&#8217;m staying in Germany until the situation improves,&#8221; my uncle replied. Thirty years later, he is still here. Grandpa wished his son well in an endeavor he himself had embarked on in the early 70s.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At that time, Adem, my father&#8217;s grandfather, had also gone to Germany. Both Zenun and Adem were Gastarbeiter \u2014 guest workers \u2014 who came to Germany to help the economy recover in the aftermath of World War II.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both of them, from De\u00e7an&#8217;s villages, had taken the famous Acropolis train from the Fush\u00eb Kosov\u00eb railway station to Germany during spring. The journey took them from Fush\u00eb Kosov\u00eb to Belgrade, Serbia, then to Ljubljana, Slovenia and finally to platform 11 at Munich\u2019s train station.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;When they arrived, the German police were waiting for them on the platform,&#8221; my grandfather Zenun told me. From the platform, without seeing anything else, they were taken to a basement under the stairs of the platform, along with other workers who had arrived from countries such as Yugoslavia, Italy, T\u00fcrkiye and Greece. Zenun and Adem were among the roughly <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/socialwork.asu.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/english.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">14 million<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> guest workers who went to West Germany for various amounts of time between 1955 and 1973.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their names were called one by one along with the places where they would work. Zenun and Adem&#8217;s names were called. It was decided that Zenun would work in Augsburg in southern Germany and Adem would work in Braunschweig in the north.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, not many memories of the past are left in that basement. There are just the station toilets, which stink. Above it, there is a small branch of the U.S. cafe chain Starbucks. Attached to the wall is a small plaque created by the Turkish artist G\u00fclcan Turna, recalling the arrival of Turkish seamstress S\u00fcmer Tan in Germany as a guest worker. The text on the plaque begins \u201cKartoffel. Ich liebe dich\u201d (Potato. I love you), which were<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/metromod.net\/2020\/01\/20\/walking-tour-through-the-traces-of-munich-migration-history\/\" target=\"_blank\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">the only words<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Tan knew in German.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides the small plaque, a lingering reminder of the platform\u2019s past are the German police controls, especially targeting people who, according to them, look like foreigners. My whole family, particularly the men, have experienced this scrutiny.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On platform 11, discussions about belonging also began. The question was always: Is it better here or there? This question followed my grandparents, parents and it follows me today.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c19692e elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c19692e\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fb797a1\" data-id=\"fb797a1\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3a330a2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"3a330a2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"1545\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.kosovotwopointzero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Aty-po-lexon-_Kartoffel-ich-liebe-dich_-dmth-_kompir-te\u0308-dua_.-_Kompir_-eshte-nje-term-per-gjermanet-nga-me\u0308rgimtaret-qe-pe\u0308rdoret-ne-Gjermani.-.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-108823\" alt=\"A gold-colored plaque is attached to the wall.

My paternal grandmother, Ajmon, Adem&#8217;s wife, remained alone in the village of Strellc, De\u00e7an in the early 70s. She raised five children and took care of the land \u2014 all in a fundamentally patriarchal society.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I asked her about those years, she didn&#8217;t talk about the difficulties. She simply told me, &#8220;I wasn&#8217;t the only one. Many men left for Germany, not just Adem.&#8221; She keeps photographs from the last 70 years in a bag. I saw many photos of grandpa Adem in Braunschweig and witnessed that part of the story from his perspective.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In every picture, he was dressed in a suit, hair neatly styled, with a confident expression on his face, rarely looking directly at the camera. On the back of the photos were the date and place. One note that I can&#8217;t get out of my head is, &#8220;Taken in Germany as a memory from this distant country.&#8221; The notes on the pictures revealed something about his thoughts. They showed me that my belief that only my generation knows what it feels like to be without an identity was incorrect. Above all, these notes conveyed the longing he had for his family.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

My mother and her three younger brothers remained in Kosovo. Thus, at the age of six, my mother took on the role of caretaker for her brothers. She and her brothers lived with their grandmother, my great-grandmother, in the village of Isniq, De\u00e7an.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She only saw her parents twice a year during the holidays. She met them during winter in Kosovo when Grandfather Zenun had a break for Christmas. In a rare moment when she spoke about her experiences from that time, my mother told me that when it snowed, she knew that the day her parents would come to Kosovo was not far away. Every day she waited for them at the window. She spent the summer in Germany, unlike my generation, which spends summer vacations in Kosovo.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Something else that is remembered from that time was the gifts that my grandparents brought from Germany \u2014 a tradition that continues today in my generation. Zenun once brought a Polaroid camera and a computer, both very rare items in the villages back then. In January 1998, when the Serbian militia raided my grandparents\u2019 house to look for my uncle, who was involved in Kosovo\u2019s liberation efforts, they stole the computer and the camera. We found the Polaroid photos in the backyard after the war.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adem also brought gifts. There is still talk about an expensive coat that he brought for his grandmother, a coat that today would be worth a fortune.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Together, they brought something else with them to Germany \u2014 food and cassette tapes from Kosovo. The sound of the Albanian language and the daily life that was sung and talked about at that time softened the longing for home. They also brought films such as &#8220;Dheu i tok\u00ebs son\u00eb&#8221; and music by Sabri Fejzullahu, Sinan Vllasali and Adelina Ismajli.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I also

In those years, one by one, Zenun and Hata\u2019s children all relocated. Today, they all live in different cities across Germany and Austria.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grandfather Adem returned to his village of Strellc in 1979, seven years after he had gone to Germany. However, the 90s found him back in Germany. In the spring of 1999, Adem, Ajmon and the rest of the family \u2014 except my father, who had gone to Germany in 1993 \u2014 became refugees in the country that Adem had once helped rebuild. It was one of the few times that the whole family was together. During these times, they stayed at our house.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the war, some family members returned to Kosovo and started a new life. The German authorities also repatriated Adem and Ajmon to Kosovo, where they still live today. Their three sons remained in Germany, continuing to send help to their extended family in Kosovo.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, Zenun and Hata live between Milishevc in Kosovo and Augsburg in Germany. They spend spring and summer in Milishevc, in the Dukagjin mountains, while autumn and winter in Augsburg, Germany.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After so many years in Germany, it never became their home.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My parents never returned to Kosovo. They were engaged and married before coming to Germany. Today, they live in the city that grandfather Adem helped build \u2014 Braunschweig. They are still haunted by a question my mother once said to a family member after our summer vacation in Kosovo: &#8220;Is life really worth living out of a suitcase?&#8221;<\/span><\/p><p><b>Me<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I was a child, I didn\u2019t understand why my parents did not return to Kosovo. My mother absolutely hated Germany, and I was angry because she hated the country where I was born. I wanted to go back to Kosovo, I wanted to go to my grandparents, Adem and Ajmon. When I expressed this wish during the summer holidays, my friends in Kosovo did not understand \u2014 they had to wait for months for a visa to travel to my hometown. Meanwhile, children in Germany excluded me because of my background. &#8220;Go to Kosovo and don&#8217;t come back,&#8221; was one of the things that was said to me.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I could not find access to my family history in any language, neither Albanian nor German. To this day, I don&#8217;t like to remember my teenage years \u2014 I felt very lonely.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I was jealous of my parents, who had grown up without an identity crisis. I was even angry that my German passport did not list Kosovo as my birthplace. I envied them because they were born in Kosovo and were able to clearly answer the question about their birthplace, without having to explain themselves. They were able to say &#8220;we are from Kosovo.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-77ac740 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"77ac740\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f56cfb4\" data-id=\"f56cfb4\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fc145ef elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"fc145ef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"837\" height=\"837\" src=\"https:\/\/archive.kosovotwopointzero.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Serafina-me-ne\u0308ne\u0308n-e-saj-ne\u0308-Gjermani-copy.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-108847\" alt=\"A woman and a child sit on a road surrounded by grass and trees.

Only now have I realized that after the war, my parents found a completely different home than the one they grew up in. I realized that my impression was not only wrong, but also selfish. After all, greetings and goodbyes have been an integral part of my family history for generations.
