It was short-lived. Their family and other loyal Yugoslavian citizens discover the new dictator wants to persecute them for Hitler's horrific crimes because they are of German descent.

This book brings to life the woeful experiences of a family in Yugoslavia--in unforgettable vignettes told by the young girl, Josie Trollmann, memories touching in their humanity and at the same time historically significant as a chronicle of man's inhumanity to man. This book deserves a wide readership--more than that--it ought to be filmed. Too little is known about the human tragedies of the State terrorism that struck these innocent victims. Sixty-four years after the Second World War, we must come to grips with these injustices. We must not keep silent about them.\" --\u003ci\u003eAlfred de Zayas, JD, PhD, UN Independent Expert on the Promotion of a Democratic and Equitable International Order since 2012, Professor of International Law at the Geneva School of Diplomacy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diane Iverson, Susan Lowe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1517061008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781517061005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/14\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.29d","brand":"Diane Iverson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43940028514559,"sku":"9781517061005","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_10e6800c-dcb7-49c9-ba39-3c0d3d32ab1d.jpg?v=1681444872","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/josie-diane-iverson-9781517061005","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
