Erika: A Member of the Forgotten People (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781626520479)

My name is Erika Singer. I was born in 1938 in a land called Sudetenland. In 1946, we were expelled from our homeland and shipped to Germany. I lived eleven years in Germany where I received most of my education. In November 1956, our family emigrated to America. We settled in a rural area of Michigan where I finished high school. After graduation, I moved to Wisconsin, working for a variety of companies. In 1964, I married and made a small mid-western town my permanent home. Erika: A Member of the Forgotten People is the story of a young refugee girl living in Germany, her memories of the war years, the different military occupations and the deportation of three million people in 1946. It describes the lifestyles in different refugee camps, the hunger pains, frequent frost bite, constant homesickness, and the humiliation and alienation endured while looking for a new home in a strange land.
