As the third Reich crumbled in 1945, scores of Germans fled the advancing Russians troops. Among them, a little boy and his family found themselves in war-torn Strasbourg before being forced into a disease-ridden refugee camp. The true story of their fight for survival, this book documents the young Wolfgang Samuel's harsh and terrifying experiences as, for reasons he is too young to understand, he encounters arbitary arrest, rape, hunger and constant fear. With the resilience only children can muster, Wolfgang maintained his youth and innocence in little ways - befriending other little refugees, playing with shrapnel, and delighting in the planes flown by Americans. Bringing fresh insight to the dark history of Nazi Germany and the horror left in its wake, this book offers a recollection of an innocent's incredible journey.

How we describe the condition of our books

We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)

New: Exactly as it says.

As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.

Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.

Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.

Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.

Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
