An Incredibly Nostalgic Trove Discovered in a Man’s Childhood Home
Most of us have attics, right? They’re often a place where we store all of our junk or stuff we don’t need all year round. Christmas decorations, old clothes, and photo albums all linger in our attics. Well, for one man, Rudi Schaltter, he would come across a mystery in the attic of his childhood home. Rudi’s father built a house in what was Czechoslovakia in the 1920s, where the family lived up until the end of World War II. Almost 70 years later, Rudi would return to the home and find a tiny little string that would change everything.

A Home With a Past
Let's cast ourselves back to Czechoslovakia in 1945. WWII had just finished, and German citizens were asked to return to Germany. This is where Rudi comes in. He was a young boy at this time, and when he and his family were sent back to Germany, their family home was taken from them.

Now, it's been 70 years, and Rudi's been given the chance to return to what's now the Czech Republic to see his childhood home. Before his father passed away, Rudi remembers him telling him about a secret, but he couldn't recall what it was. All he knew was it had to do with the home.
