An inspiring profile from one of history's darkest occasions. Marione Ingram grew up in Hamburg, Germany, in the late 1930s and early 1940s. She was German. She was Jewish. She was a survivor. That is her storyline. As a young woman, Marione was aware that folks of the Jewish faith were thought to be outsiders, the meant reason behind Germany's many problems. She grew up in an apartment building where neighborhood friends were more than pleased to record Jews to the Gestapo. Marione's mother attempted suicide after getting a deportation notice - Marione revived her, but then the bombs started to land, as the Allies leveled the city in eight upright times of bombings. Somehow Marione and her mother and sister survived the devastating firestorms - more than 40,000 perished, and almost the same quantity were wounded. Marione and her family miraculously escaped and sought shelter with a contact in the countryside, who grudgingly agreed to house them in a shed for greater than a year. With all the war attracting to a detailed, they went western world, back again to Hamburg. There they came across Allied soldiers, who reinstalled the neighborhood government (composed of ex-Nazis) in order to keep order in the country. Life needed on mid-air of what it used to be. Jews were still second-class people. Marione eventually needed shelter at a children's home in a mansion once possessed by rich Jewish bankers. There she achieved Uri, a stressed orphan and another one of the "Children of Blankenese". Uri's storyline, a bleak story of life in the attentiveness camps, explores an alternative area of the Nazi terror in Germany. With this stirring profile of World Warfare II through the sight of a kid, the author's eloquent narrative will elicit compassion from listeners.
