Produktbeschreibung

This true story of an innocent boy growing up in Hitler's Germany is "a unique memoir...highly recommended."- Midwest Book Review Peter and his brothers saw the war not as military or national history, but as the adventure of everyday living. They experienced bombs dropping, soldiers occupying their home, and prisoners of war marching through the streets-all of which seemed like mere intrusions into their childhood existence. They not only survived, but thrived, duringThe Children's War. The strength of family ties carried the Gawenda boys through the war and shaped the author's perspective, making The Children's Waran uplifting reading experience. Gawenda draws on his childhood in Germany during WWII to reflect the impact the war had on children. Born in the Third Reich under Hitler, Gawenda, through a child's point of view, shares his family's heartbreak, joy, humor, and cunning during their days in Oberglogau before their desperate flight from Russian conquerors to safety in Bavaria.
