The article delves into the poignant narrative of familial loss and remembrance within the context of post-World War II displacement. Through the lens of personal family history, the author recounts the story of Kurt, a young child lost amidst the upheaval of war and migration. Kurt's tragic passing reverberates through generations, leading to the curious practice of renaming subsequent children after their departed siblings. Drawing parallels with historical naming traditions, such as those found in the Spanish village of Mieza, the article explores the multifaceted motivations behind such naming conventions, from honoring the deceased to seeking solace and continuity. Through meticulous research and evocative storytelling, the article sheds light on the complex interplay of grief, memory, and familial bonds in the aftermath of profound loss.
