Franz (Frank) Oberle was nine years old when his family was relocated from Germany to Poland. Once there, he was taken from his parents to an isolated school where adolescents were being indoctrinated... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This book offers a unique perspective on WW2, ie. from the point of view of a German child. It is a very candid autobiography, well-written with lots of humour and insights. Mr. Oberle goes on to describe his immigration to Canada, and the struggles he encountered in trying to forge a new life in BC. It was fascinating to see what life is like for a new immigrant. I found the book to be very interesting and informative and have recommended it to everyone I meet. There is a second tome that I hope to read as well, depicting how Mr. Oberle became a Cabinet Minister in the Canadian Government.
