for Hanna, Future Stories from the Past…
Willem Poelstra
‘For Hanna, Future Stories from the Past…’ is a compelling photobook by Dutch documentary photographer Willem Poelstra.
After his parents’ passing, Poelstra discovered a box containing photos and documents that unveiled a hidden family history: his Jewish mother lost dozens of family members in concentration camps during World War II, while his father voluntarily worked in a German locomotive factory. ​
This book serves as a poignant document on war, disruption, reconciliation, and hope, illustrating how history continues to repeat itself.
nspired by this revelation, Poelstra sought a contemporary parallel and found it in Kosovo, where the 1998-1999 war had left deep scars. Over five years, he documented the lives of people in this conflict-ridden region, capturing the enduring impact of war on families, friends, and loved ones. ​
This book serves as a poignant document on war, disruption, reconciliation, and hope, illustrating how history continues to repeat itself. It is a valuable addition for anyone interested in documentary photography and the human stories behind conflicts.
