About this ebook

These are the stories of ordinary German civilians who survived the horrors of war and eventually immigrated to Colorado.

For example: "During the night between one and four o'clock the police would drive through the town and pick up men. They would knock on the door and say that the man of the house had to come along to the police station to answer some questions. Everyone knew they would never come back." -- Alex Baumgartner

These stories remind readers how war imposes hardship and heartbreak on all of the populations involved. It's the author's hope that readers will learn from and be inspired by these revelations from ordinary people caught up in extraordinary circumstances.
