“My grandmother survived the war with nothing but the dress she wore. Her stories were all we had. Now they will outlast us all.”

Elena M., Berlin

Elena inscribed her grandmother’s oral history, a collection of audio recordings made over fifteen years of Sunday afternoon conversations. Along with the recordings, she preserved photographs, handwritten recipes, and letters that her grandmother had carried across three countries. “These were not important documents by any official measure,” Elena says. “But they are the most important things in my family’s history. To know they are safe forever changes how I think about memory.”

“I built a company from nothing. The Memocube preserves not just the success, but the struggle that made it real.”

James T., Dubai

James, the founder of a technology company with over 2,000 employees, chose to preserve the founding documents, early pitch decks, first product prototypes, and personal journal entries from the early years of building his business. “Everyone sees the end result,” he explains, “but the real story is in the midnight emails, the rejected proposals, the moments when giving up seemed rational. I want future generations to know what it actually took.”

“My children are young now. One day they will want to hear my voice. It will be there.”

Amara K., Nairobi

Amara, a physician and mother of three, inscribed video messages for each of her children, to be experienced at different milestones in their lives. The Memocube contains letters for their eighteenth birthdays, their wedding days, and the day they become parents themselves. She also preserved family videos, her medical research publications, and recordings of traditional songs taught to her by her own mother. “Life is uncertain,” Amara says simply. “But love does not have to be.”
