What We Thought We Remembered: A Collection of Warped Memoirs is a book of short stories inspired by Dr. Daniel Schacter's The Seven Sins of Memory: How the Mind Forgets and Remembers. Each story explores the balance between vice and virtue, harmony in the company of duality, through stories depicting each of Schacter's "sins": transience, absent-mindedness, blocking, misattribution, suggestibility, bias, and persistence.

Bogen er den første biografi om Olga Eggers' dramatiske skæbne fra elsket forfatterinde til en af landets mest forhadte nazister. Det private og det politiske i hendes liv er forbundet i talrige knuder, og fortællingen udfolder hendes dramatiske og farverige tilværelse.
