Today we drove to Oma's hometown of Hausen im Wiesental where we searched and searched for a house next to a bakeri and a Gasthaus. It's a small beautiful town with very helpful people. Helmut Lang took pity on us and brought out his daughter who spoke English and they knew the house and were more than happy to take us there, and a view point and to their house for tea if we had time. After that we went to Schweigmatt to search for uncle Willy's old house. When we entered town Emma stopped to pet the pretty horses and then we drove on only to find out that Willy's house was right behind those horses. It was really beautiful with an amazing view of a city at the bottom of the Black Forest. Then we drove off to find the cemetery where the family was buried. We came upon this adorable old man with a scythe who we figured might know where it was, we drew a picture since cemetery is one word I don't know in German, and he told us it was back up a hill that we had to walk to. We decided not to let him show us. We drove off to the forest with the kids screaming with joy when I asked a chef with a restaurant up there what the deal was. He said that the Schmidts are buried in front of the Willy's house, so off we went. It was actually in back up this beautiful grassy hill with an allee of trees leading to their burial plot. We found what looked like large rocks covered in ivy but they were just hiding. We couldn't fit all the pictures in. Heidi was found shot in the back laying on their driveway in 1945 after a Nazi soldier left their house. It was all very haunted, with a gust of wind enveloping us as we cleared their graves, but I so am glad we went.
