Описание:
"The Germany of my youth no longer existed. The land of edelweiss and the beautiful blue Danube was gone, swept away by an alien ideology represented by jackboots and the skull and crossbones," so writes Josef Putcamer in his 1944 diary when he becomes disillusioned with the Nazi regime. Josef tells the story of his friendship with Adolf Hitler from childhood into adulthood. Blinded in one eye by a stone thrown by young Adolf, Josef is spared from the horrors of the Great War. In 1919 he opens a bakery in Munich, where he reconnects with Adolf, now a firebrand speaker in a local beerhall. Josef is an eyewitness and occasional participant in his friend's rise from obscurity to his selection as chancellor of Germany. Josef's B ckerei prospers by catering to a Nazi clientele. Josef rubs shoulders with high-ranking Nazi officials, including Albert Speer, Martin Bormann, and Rudolf Hess. He is invited to Hitler's villa in the Bavarian Alps, where he meets Eva Braun. Riding the wave of Hitler's growing popularity, Josef opens two more bakeries. But Hitler goes too far. The war turns against Germany, putting Josef and his family in peril.

Описание: In this book I continue the story of my late mother's life, tying up some loose ends and filling in inadvertent gaps in the narrative. Memories are fickle and evanescent, often no more substantial than last night's dream. They cannot be summoned up at will to reveal themselves and often require a period of incubation before to begin to coalesce. As was the case in The Girl From Copenhagen, I have in this sequel used pictures in my mother's photo albums to rekindle half-forgotten memories. I was surprised when I wrote this book by how many significant events in my mother's life that I had failed to record. But such is the nature of memory.

Описание: The Girl From Copenhagen is a memoir. It includes a photo section that follows my mother's life from childhood into old age. Born in Denmark in 1923 on the island of Falster ("Amid thunder and lightening," as she was fond of saying), Inge Buus had an idyllic life growing up with her brother and sister on their father's farm. All three siblings learned to ride a horse by the age of eight or nine. Inge, however, was anything but a farm girl. She never mastered the art of milking a cow. She refused to drink milk. During the fall slaughtering time, she would stay in her room and close the door so she would not hear the squealing of the fattened pigs. She avoided gathering eggs because the hens would peck her fingers. After graduating at the top of her high-school class, she moved to Copenhagen to study nursing. Unfortunately, her nursing career was cut short when her ankles began swelling up on her long shifts, rendering her as infirm as some of her patients. She subsequently found employment as a bookkeeper at Burmeister and Wain, the largest shipbuilder in Denmark. Inge and her family witnessed the German invasion of Denmark on April 9, 1940. At first, the occupation did not seem all that bad. The Danish economy, in a recession at the time, prospered with the German wartime demand for produce and machinery. But then the Nazis began to tighten the screws, revealing their true intentions as they attempted to round up and deport Denmark's Jewish population to concentration camps. This was the last straw for the Danish people, who considered their Jewish neighbors as Danes first and Jews second, and succeeded in smuggling most of Denmark's 8,000 Jews to neutral Sweden on a flotilla of small fishing boats. After this blatant act of defiance, Hitler ordered a crackdown on his Danish "protectorate." On her way to work, Inge would pass by German tanks stationed in Copenhagen's town square. Helmeted German soldiers armed with machine guns demanded to see her Ausweis. There were almost daily bombings in the heart of the city, some conducted by the Danish Resistance, others conducted by the Germans in retaliation. Inge had mixed feelings about working in the shipyard, which was producing engines for German U-boats, making the yard a target for Allied bombers as well as the Danish Resistance. But the pay was much higher than she would be able to obtain elsewhere, so she chose to stick it out. The Danes celebrated when the five years of Nazi occupation came to an end. At a dance in Copenhagen, Inge met a dashing young GI, Sergeant Bob Peterson. After a whirlwind courtship, Inge decided to marry her GI. In 1946, leaving behind a loving family and friends, she packed up her belongings in a large wicker basket and sailed to the United States. Bob was employed by Gibbs & Cox, a shipbuilding company in New York City. In the late 1940s and early 1950s he worked on the design of the S.S. United States. Living in an apartment in Jersey City until 1954, Inge and her resourceful mate would drive every Friday night to an undeveloped plot of land in rural New Jersey and work through the weekend. Lacking running water and electricity, they built their dream house with their own hands. In 1965, with the house completed to Bob's satisfaction, he grew restless and set his sights on greener pastures. Over the next twenty-five years there would be a total of seven more moves, some dictated by the necessities of employment opportunities, others simply places where Bob had aspired from his youth to settle down in. ("A house is just a place to hang your hat," Bob once said.) Inge never uttered a word of complaint during all of these moves. No doubt, like her husband, she had the spirit of wanderlust in her blood--after all, she had gone off to America with a man she had known for no more than a week. During these many moves, Inge made a total of twenty-five trips back to her native Denmark. The love of her life collapsed and died shortly after
