Review
His Story Is My Story by Elke McKee
Authentic Stories about Survival and Success of a German Father and Daughter after World War II
This is the story of the author's father’s
taped memories of ten years as a German soldier prisoner of war in Russia, his impression of the kind Russian peasants, the cruel guards, and surviving unbelievably hard conditions.
Hans Oertel returned home to Germany a decade after World War II and never wanted to talk about his experiences because they were too painful. It is also about the author's story of growing up
without a father while living in the east part of Germany occupied by the Russians,
how she perceived the educational system under Communism, escaping when she was eleven, her life in West Germany, and first adventure in England.
Then,
finally, coming to America!
