Synopsis

Klaus Kolb's second volume of his memoirs continues his life story from age 12 until he comes of age. His father is imprisoned and the family's East German apartment and goods are confiscated by their Soviet occupiers after World War II. Thanks to CARE packages and hard work in mechanical engineering school, the extended family of his grandmother, mother and two sisters survive by cramming into Grandma's apartment with another couple. Klaus discovers his musical talents but his partying has consequences. When his father is released from prison, the men make a hard decision that could leave the women defenseless.

À propos de l'auteur

Klaus Kolb was raised in East Germany during WW II by a demanding but brilliant father and loving step-mother. He apprenticed and became a journeyman as a machinery builder and studied engineering in East Germany until he escaped to West Germany via the Berlin Subway in 1955. There, he was an engineering design manager for an industrial air conditioning system business before emigrating to the U.S. in 1965 to be president of textile firms in South Carolina. In 1998, he created and was CEO of Kolb’s Geodesic Dome Homes. In that post, he oversaw design and construction of energy-efficient homes in the four nations. Now retired, he consults internationally about geodesic building construction, deciphers and translates Old German Script into English, and plays the accordion and keyboard in two Brevard County,Florida bands. He is fluent in four languages. He and his wife Brigitte live on Merritt Island, Florida.
