EINEN HERING FUER MEIN KIND by Max Wedemeyer

Although the author is telling the stories of another family, we can be sure that he is writing about what happened to him. It is a bit of autobiography.

I have always wondered when reading autobiographies and biographies, how the writers remembered things in detail from fifty years ago.

But at last I have found a way to write my own story (autobiography) without having a bad conscience. I am not intending to do so.

Can we say that there is quite a bit of embroidery in the biographies and autobiographies we read? (Also called elaboration, embellishment and exaggeration.)
