ABOUT THE BOOK
Book Overview
This autobiography is told through the eyes of a child growing into a teen from the last gasping thousand-year empire of Hitler into the equally evil government of East Germany, a life that had no normal childhood and a life of tears and fear and no future. Only being allowed to migrate to the US at age twenty-one changed the author's life.
Historical Witness
A rare firsthand account of life under two of the 20th century’s most oppressive regimes.
Resilience & Survival
A deeply human story of endurance, imagination, and inner freedom.
Hope & Transformation
A journey from fear to freedom, and from confinement to self‑realization.
