Description

Born in eastern Germany in the same year as Anne Frank, Irene Kucholick grew up during the rise of Hitler and the Nazi Third Reich just 75 kilometers southwest of Dresden. Banned from her father's study, because it was there he taught the fleeing Russian nobility German, Irene's first experience evading police came at age five. By eight she heard grownups listening to Hitler's radio speeches. Soon her friend, Esther, wore a yellow star and Nazi youth marched in the streets while the half-Polish Irene was deemed unfit for membership in the Party. From Kristallnacht, hiding Jews, to whistling bombs, a prison cell and her father's draft to the Russian front, Irene takes us on a World War II journey through the eyes of a child who lived to tell the tale.
