Description

. . . dramatic, tender, funny, frightening, earthy,
quirky, wise and heart-warming.
The tale of young Christa and her family as they leave
a comfortable home to become penniless immigrants in their
quest to survive the collapse of the Third Reich and flee the
horrors that it has unleashed, opens up to universal
themes of suffering, loss, love and hope.

MICHAEL JOSEPH, Rutgers University Rare Book Librarian,
Instructer of Childeren’s Literature

Auf Wiedersehen reveals the sacrifices and hopes of
one German family in Christa’s remarkable voice.

NANCY MANDELL, retired English Professor

. . . a beautifully told story about holding on to the
essential goodness of life while having to say auf Wiedersehen
to home, friends, and loved ones during WWII in Germany.
Christa the young girl telling the story of her indomitable German
family on the run, has the spirit to soar like a bird despite
shocking deprivations and losses. Her story can inspire
in readers a joyous enthusiasm for living.
