O knihe
Silesia, Germany, 1938. Four-year-old
Ingrid's mother has suddenly died. The child's ideal world
collapses. Her father, a successful businessman, breaks off
all contact with the child's maternal grandmother. Why? He
becomes a member of the Nazi party and supports his two
older daughters' activities in the Hitler Youth Movement. He
re-marries - a pretty young woman of working class status.
Ingrid's eldest sister hates her. Tears and turmoil in the
family are the result. When war breaks out, news about the
progress of the military forces become a daily concern: The
stepmother's three brothers are fighting at the front. When,
in 1945, the Red Army invades Silesia, the family is forced
to flee. Ingrid doesn't realize that she will never see her
childhood home again. But the most fundamental shock is yet
to come. After surrender the father reveals a secret that
sends the children's emotions into a tailspin. A tragedy
becomes unavoidable. Ingrid tells her story with the
innocence and curiosity only found in childhood. Will the
ties to her family and the unquestioning love for her father
enable Ingrid to emotionally survive the horrors of the Nazi
regime and the shocking secret her father reveals?
