My Lost Childhood: How Hitler and the Freemasons Stole My Childhood (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781500298302)

Geoff Kirby's 'Lost Childhood' started two weeks after the start of World War 2. He lived in North London throughout 'The Blitz' and later bombardment with 'Doodlebugs' and V2 missiles. On several occasions he was close to death; never more so than when his home was destroyed. But - his teddy bear survived being buried in rubble Geoff's parents organised a social club to build community spirit during the war. His father was a fancy dress fan. To see him dressed as a 'Hawaiian Maiden' wearing a flimsy grass skirt and a bra made of two saucepan lids and string whilst Luftwaffe bombs were dropping all around enthused his family and neighbours to be optimistic and cheerful.After the war there was no respite from misery as the terrible winter of 1947 very nearly bought wide scale famine to Britain with the expectation of over one million starved bodies needing to be stored in warehouses.Geoff's father died in 1949 and the worst possible outcome ensued when he was promptly locked up in an abusive boarding school run by Freemasons. The grotesque teachers beat pupils as young as eight with cricket bats, bullied them mercilessly for their physical deformities and even made them eat their own vomit. Geoff's life greatly improved in 1953 - the year of the Queen's coronation. This is Geoff's story of misery, happiness and survival in London in the 1940s and early 1950s.
