In 1920 at the age of thirteen Irmgard Gebensleben left Germany for the Netherlands for the first time on a war child transport she would eventually Marry a Dutch man while keeping in contact with her German family and friends through frequent letters.
By the time the rise of the Nazi’s took place, Irmgard was living in Holland. At first like many others it seems Irmgard believes that positive changes will be made but in time discovers what Hitler was truly about.
I give Between Two Homelands five out of five stars
Happy Reading
