Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - ¿A Canadian family caught behind enemy lines in World War II and a mother's longing to bring her family home.A Trip To Germany¿'In that year (1939) they decided to make a trip to Germany, where Werner's mother is still living, in Hamburg. They did not sell their land, as this trip was intended as a visit rather than a migration. They sailed on the ship Hansa from New York.

I only heard of the existence of the tape after both my parents had died, and I was reluctant to look at it. I knew how frail Dad already was at the time of the interview. I was well into writing our story before I worked up the courage to watch the tape. I am grateful that I was able to tell part of the story in their voices.…
