About This Item
New York:: Alfred A. Knopf,, 1935.. Hardcover first edition -. Very good in original black cloth with the thin title strip around binding still intact (minor sunning to spine), no dust jacket. . First printing. An autobiography of a young German girl, "reaching maturity after the war, deeply moving, grimly dramatic. The picture of wartime Germany, of children standing in line for food, stealing butter and vinegar from the pitiful family larder, wearing clothes made out of any available bit of material - this has never been told, in quite so direct and evidently authentic a way. Then comes the post-war fever of revolution, civil war, communism quickly crushed, the youth movement," (Kirkus) and finally the realization that she can never support Hitler, even as her family and most of her friends see him as the hero that Germany needs, and so it ends as she is leaving Germany. xi, 431 pp
