The book documents the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic from the perspective of a woman from Chemnitz. Author and artist Sigrid Klemm lived through the Second World War. Now she is dealing with a new crisis that is awakening old fears. She has been observing the events surrounding the pandemic for over a year and has been thinking about them. She recorded them in poems and pictures. Sigrid Klemm was encouraged and supported by journalist Conny Hartmann. The result is a very personal and lovingly designed book. A piece of contemporary history in art and poetry.
