"Against All Odds" - A Young Boy’s Memoir on Surviving WWII in Germany

NEW YORK - April 22, 2013 - PRLog -- Against All Odds, young Bruno survives World War II and learns to become the man he wants to be.

This uplifting memoir is Bruno’s account as a young boy during the time of chaos that was Europe from 1942 to 1956. His first cries as an infant competed with the sounds of air raid sirens as he is born in 1942. Separated from his mother, he becomes a refugee traveling with his grandmother, as they flee Danzig before the approaching Red Army. As a child, he experiences bomb shelters, exploding bombs and gun fire, the screams of the wounded, and the stench of death. For starving refugees and retreating soldiers, soup kitchens represent a welcome sign of humanity.

Bruno finds a new home in Saxony in East Germany with a clean and warm bed, and the love and affection of his grandmother. But his happiness is short lived when his mother returns in 1947 to take him away to live with her and an abusive stepfather. Bruno’s unforgettable story of survival during wartime and the years of depravation afterward is seen through the eyes of a child, yet remembered by the adult.
