Indignity
Description
When a photo of Lea’s Albanian grandmother in the Alps in 1941 surfaces on social media, comments begin to fly: she was “a communist spy” in Enver Hoxha’s Albania, says one; another, that she was “a fascist collaborator” under Mussolini's occupation. Lea is determined to protect her grandmother’s dignity and seek out the truth. Part memoir, part historical reconstruction, Indignity blends archives, secret police files, and imagination.
