Clipped Wings

My book is the biography of my family, how we tried to escape from socialism East Germany. We were arrested, accused of being traitors. The book tells how life was and the every day struggle of surviving in the socialism. 1981 we were released to West Germany, it was a new begin for us in freedom. I became a seamstress and started a family. 1999 I moved to America, I admired the pride in the people.
I wrote this book for the younger generation, because it is their future. To make the future better you have to learn from history. I hope I can open there eyes, so my fight against the socialism is not in vain.
