Anne Hand Interview Episode 596

In this episode, we’re joined by Anne Hand, author of Austrian Again: Reclaiming a Lost Legacy, a powerful exploration of identity, ancestry, and rediscovery. Through personal storytelling and historical reflection, Anne takes us on her journey to reconnect with her Austrian roots—uncovering forgotten family stories, confronting the silences of the past, and reclaiming a legacy nearly lost to history. We discuss the emotional process of piecing together family identity after war and migration, what it means to belong to multiple cultures, and how uncovering our heritage can heal generational wounds. This episode is for anyone who has ever wondered where they come from—and how our stories shape who we become.
