Another Book Event

I had a very profitable book tea party I want to share with you. The event took place at the Western Winds Apartment Complex on October 14, 2005. A few of my friends prepared the refreshments and invited all the residents of the apartment complex for story time and desert.

I am reading excerps from my book, BY HANDS OF STRANGERS, to the audience.

My father made the utensils on the table from war scrap metal. The story is in chapter 10 of my book.

A lot of people had a lot of questions for me after the event. Scroll further down to read the back cover copy of my book.

Alice was born in Poland during the Second World War. She and her family are ethnic German civilians who had been living in Poland for many generations. Even though her family had nothing to do with the Nazi regime, it became clear to her father that because they were Germans their lives were now in danger. Hitler was losing the war and hatred for all Germans was escalating, even for innocent civilians. The family fled shortly before the Russian takeover of Poland in January of l945. In 1951 after much hardship and many trials, at the age of 10 Alice and her family came to the United States. Alice has three grown children. She and her husband are retired and now living in Arizona.
