Format: Paperback

Number of Pages: 448


As the third Reich crumbled in 1945, scores of Germans fled the advancing Russian troops. Among them, a little boy and his family found themselves in war-torn Strasbourg before being forced into a disease-ridden refugee camp. The vivid, true story of their fight for survival, GERMAN BOY documents the young Wolfgang Samuel s harsh and terrifying experiences as, for reasons he is too young to understand, he encounters arbitary arrest, rape, hunger and constant fear. With the resilience only children can muster, Wolfgang maintained his youth and innocence in little ways - befriending other little refugees, playing with shrapnel, and delighting in the planes flown by Americans. Bringing fresh insight to the dark history of Nazi Germany and the horror left in its wake, GERMAN BOY is a poignant, valuable recollection of an innocent s incredible journey.
