It took decades for Ingrid von Olhafen not only to discover her true identity, but also to realize that she was the subject of an evil Nazi social experiment and that someone else was living with her identity.
When Ingrid was three years old and Germany was in chaos after World War II, her parents separated and she was placed in an orphanage.
"It was Christmas Day when I got there, and they were giving presents in a big room with lots of wooden tables. The cake was walnut and orange. "She must have had a big influence on me because I remember it so clearly."
But this pleasant memory was the beginning of a sad era.
While showing the letters from that time, Ingrid says that although her mother "wasn't very warm", Ingrid was very eager to live with her.
