Description :
What was it like to grow up as an urban urchin under bombs in Nazi Germany?
Did he have a real childhood? Did he play pranks on grownups, as young
rascals do in normal times? Could he be shielded against Nationalist ideology?
In Urchin at War, Uwe Siemon-Netto answers these questions in the
affirmative with humour and drama.The son of a lawyer blinded in World War I,
he describes the parallel universe in which his bourgeois family lived in
Leipzig. He vividly writes about the night when his home was bombed out. He
had to guide his father over puddles of green flames caused by phosphor to
his grandmother's apartment where he discovered hours later that - of all
people - Frenchmen had rescued his mother from the flames. He tells the story
of how he stole a tram after an air raid, and how his family buried his grandaunt's
right hand because that was the only body part rescuers found under
the rubble after her house was hit by a blockbuster bomb.Dr. Siemon-Netto, a
journalist and academic, relates how in a country parsonage he was
evacuated to, the pro-Nazi pastor beat him up for using French loan words and
how he preached on Sundays that Hitler was Germany's saviour, prompting
the courageous organist to whisper into the author's ears: &quotHes lying! He
is betraying our Lord!&quotWhe the Americans occupied Leipzig on Hitler's
birthday in 1945, the author's family feasted on half an egg in mustard sauce
each.Urchin at War is an Ode to Omi, his funny and intrepid grandmother
Clara Netto, a grande dame who in the air raid shelter taught him basic
Lutheran doctrine so well that it led him to interrupt his stellar career as a
reporter at age 50 to study theology in Chicago and earn a doctorate in
Boston.Urchin at War is the first volume in the 1517 Publishing's Urchin Series
about the extraordinary life story of a kid and high school dropout who became
a sought-after newsman, who covered the Kennedy assassination and the
Vietnam War, and ended up being a Lutheran lay theologian.
