Fragments of Memory

Want to know how Alzheimer’s disease was first discovered — and the woman whose fading memories changed medical history forever? Through parallel diary entries, Alois Alzheimer meticulously documents a baffling new condition, while his 51-year-old patient, Auguste Deter , struggles to hold onto her thoughts as they slowly slip away. As his notes grow sharper and more determined, her words fragment into confusion and silence. Fragments of Memory is a gripping, intimate portrait of discovery and decline, a powerful exploration of connection, perspective, and the fragile nature of memory.
