Item Description
Signed paperback donated by Ruth Publications LLC.
This autobiographical story is very timely with its vivid and gripping anecdotes. When Olivia's mother covered her children with her body during a bomb attack pleading with God to spare their lives, Olivia's search began to touch the face of God.
Under Hitler's rule, enforced by his henchmen, the Gestapo, only pure Arian couples were permitted marriage certificates. It was illegal to live with or to be married to a non-Arian. The German government denied a marriage certificate to Olivia's parents and refused child support.
Olivia's family was shunned as outcasts and her parents received numerous warnings by the Gestapo to dissolve their illegal relationship since her mother was of Jewish decent. At the police station during an interrogation, her pregnant mother was shown pictures of people in concentration camps and was advised that this was the fate awaiting her and her four children if she did not separate from her common - law marriage partner and the father of her children. The tenacity of Olivia's mother is a touching account of a mother's love for her children and the will to survive.
This true story exposes the plight of innocent people and the suffering children who are caught in the middle when nations are in conflict and at war. Berlinwas in shambles afterGermany's defeat during World War II, and the citizens of Berlin were worn out trying to rebuild their lives. Read about how this family mastered unbearable obstacles, and coped with the rejection by society, even after the war.
