The Keeper
The Memory of a Family
Adelheid represents the family's connection to the past. The Schexnaydres do not leave Germany with only possessions. They carry stories, customs, heirlooms, and memories that have been passed down through generations.
Her presence reminds the family that leaving one home does not mean leaving behind everything that made them who they are.
For Lena especially, the things Adelheid leaves behind become part of a legacy whose meaning will not become clear all at once.
