Product details
Ellen Davis was born in 1929 in the small German village of Hoof. Her Jewish family had lived there since 1760 but its peaceful existence was shattered when Hitler came to power and German Jews were persecuted. Ellen's autobiography tells the harrowing story of her childhood struggle to protect her younger brothers and sisters from the terrors of life in Nazi Germany and her escape to Swansea via the Kindertransport.
This is also the moving story of Ellen's life in Britain, the difficulties of her first marriage and her love for her own Welsh children as she finds happiness in a new relationship. Meanwhile she continues to search for her German family and relatives in Australia, Israel and the US - a search which ends finally, heart-rendingly, in Riga in Latvia. Ellen Davis tells her story simply and honestly. In recent years she has given many interviews about her life and spoken about it especially to young people. An account of the tumults of a Jewish woman's life during and after World War II is related in this powerful autobiography. Beginning with her childhood struggle to protect her younger siblings from the terrors of Nazi Germany, her story follows her harrowing escape to Britain via the Kindertransport, her new life with foster parents in Wales, and her efforts to establish a family as an adult. The tale provides an impassioned look at the difficulty of her life and times, vividly portraying the horrors of the German air raids, the instability of life during a premature and unhappy first marriage, and the heartrending search for surviving Jewish family in Austria, Israel, and the United States.
