Nobody Loves You More Than Me: Finding Margarete

In 2016, the Australian artist Anne Zahalka begins the melancholy task of sorting her mother Hedy’s belongings after her death. Among them she finds a pile of letters she’s never seen before. She’s mystified – but as she reads on, she starts to understand. The letters are from Anne’s grandmother – Margarete Back. As she reads, Anne traces her finger over the time and place where they begin: March 1938, Vienna. Fifty-five-year-old Margarete and her teenage daughters, Lore and Hedy, are living together in a comfortable apartment when Hitler’s army marches into the city.
