Synopsis

A Young Woman Finds Victory as a Prisoner of War The true story of a young Nazi woman questioning her beliefs while facing the horrors of a communist prison camp. Written originally in German, this is the true story of Erika Wolzak written by a professional writer. It is a story that will be of worldwide interest, both to Christians and indeed any who are fascinated by end-of-war Europe. It is a story of a journey into faith in the midst of the most trying circumstances. In 1944 in Dortmund the 18 year old Erika survives an allied bombing raid which destroys her neighbourhood and is forced to move to live with her Aunt Erna, a devout Christian. Erna helps Erika realise that her commitment to the Hitler Youth Movement is worthless and encourages her to seek God. Having rejoined her family who are now living in Prussia with her grandmother she is soon captured in the Soviet invasion and separated from her family and friends. She is taken to a Soviet prison camp in the Ukraine with other women. Facing harsh treatment and the threat of sexual abuse by the lecherous guards the women are forced to work in the fields in sub-zero temperatures and endure terrible hardship. Erika finds strength in her confirmation verse: The Lord is with me; therefore I will not fear; what can man do to me? (Ps 118:6). How will she survive the prison camp? Will her faith be strengthened or destroyed by such suffering? Can she possibly be reunited with her family and find peace again? Lothar von Seltmann discovered his talent for writing late in life, after taking early retirement in 1993. He is the author of several books, including a number of biographical ones like What Can Man Do to Me? He lives with his wife Ulla in Germany, and they have three adult children and six grandchildren.
