About the Book
kos Kirchhatten. A 47 year old female motorist could only be recovered dead from the wreckage of her car yesterday morning by members from the Kirchhatten auxiliary fire brigade. At 7:30 she had a frontal collision with another car on Dingsteder Strasse, whose driver was travelling from the direction of Dingstede and who, in a right bend and for so far unexplained reasons, got onto the oncoming lane. The 22 year old incurred minor injuries. The material damage was around 15000 DM (Deutsche Mark). Two MHD rescue vehicles, an ambulance as well as the Rescue Helicopter Christoph 6 were deployed.
A newspaper clipping of a fatal accident and just two photographs are the only elements to be encountered in this seemingly sparse book. The first photograph is the last photograph taken of the unidentified woman alive. The second photograph is the last photograph ever taken of her. All seen together they are the three markers of an individual ellipsis, an untold story that somewhere resonates in all of us.
