War and Pieces: 'Muddling My Way Through Life's Mysteries' - Paperback

by Beate Dayem Stamness (Author)

A poignant story of the adventures of a happy-go-lucky child growing up in the wake of World War II, with the growing realization of her own deep shame at being a German. It is told in the unique voice and perspective of a little German girl as she grows into a young woman and learns about the Nazis, befriends her first Jews, and discovers, in a very personal way, the truth about the Lebensborn children, Hitler's top-secret breeding program. Her eager zest for life and her burgeoning sexuality balance out her somber and heartfelt struggle to understand what it means to be German in a post-WWII era.
