Journey to Freedom
by Margret Mefford
Journey
to Freedom is a matter of fact account of life
in World War II Germany as remembered and told
by the children who endured the chaos and
hardship brought to their homes by the war.
None survived unscathed;
there are tales of loss, hardship, humor,
compassion and opportunity. This series of
remembrances provides poignant glimpses into the
daily lives of children and their families as
they struggle to survive defeat, occupation, the
emergence into a changed world and finally a new
life, in a new country.
These stories will make laugh, cry, but most of all it will make you think of the other side of WWII. A must read for anyone who wants to know how war really changes life!
