Great grandparents
Christian and Lina Widmer-Keller
Kirchdorf (Canton of Argovia) |
Maria-Magdalena Hasler-Hohenrainer,
my grandmother on my mother’s side,
come from
Austria. She was actually the
only “real foreigner”
in our family, as she
did not even speak Swiss
dialect.
But she was officially Swiss – unlike
the
rest of us, who had been born in
Switzerland –
having acquired Swiss
nationality through her
marriage. It was
she who taught me really to live
life to
the full in every moment.
I love her very
much!!!
