Hedwig's Story

Every good history book addresses Hitler's assumption of power in Germany. Now learn the history through the eyes of a child growing up during the formation of the Nazi Government. Read how events affected even the youngest of citizens as the roots of Hitlerism and the growth of his sinister philosophy of force seemed almost destined to overshadow the earth.

Growing up in an acutely dysfunctional environment, Hedwig suffered shame, humiliation and abuse as the illegitimate child of a 13-year-old, and still managed to survive happy, even hilarious escapades. Live the life of this bastard child through her poignant, funny, and unbelievably sad tales of being raised by her grandfather, Vati, in a small Bavarian town.
