We Don't Talk About That

An amazing story of survival. Life of ordinary German families before-during and after WWII. The Russian invasion, their atrocities, eviction and loss of home, walk on the road to nowhere with thousands of others next to the Russian army on their way to Berlin. Fighting hunger, disease, lice and bed bugs, the emergence of two German States, escape to the west, the Berlin Wall, an unwanted affair for the girl Gila, confrontation with a rapist and finally the wish to get "far away" and out of Germany. A rivveting personal memoir "hard to put down and best read with a 'stiff drink' beside you"
