1. Nach den Türkenkriegen war der südliche Teil des Habsburgerreiches verwüstet. Dessen Neubesiedlung durch deutsche Auswanderer führte zu einer der größten Kolonisationen der Neuzeit. Eines dieser Gebiete war die Batschka, dem Land zwischen Donau und Theiss. Die Vorfahren der Autorin wanderten großteils unter Joseph II. dorthin aus und wurden in der größten Gemeinde dieser Phase - Tscherwenka - angesiedelt. Deren Nachfahren lebten dort bis zum 8. Oktober 1944 als mitten im 2. Weltkrieg die Flucht/Vertreibung bedingt durch das Vordringen der Roten Armee und der Partisanen Titos ihren Anfang nahm. Anne Jung (später verehelichte Holden) beschreibt aus der Sicht eines kleinen Mädchens tagebuchähnlich in "In Search of a Warm Room" (Warren Publishing, Cornelius, NC, 2002) was sie danach alles erlebte. Am besagten Tag um 12 Uhr mittags verließ ihre Familie auf Pferdewagen Tscherwenka. Ihre Irrfahrt durch ein Europa im zu Ende gehenden 2.Weltkrieg beschreibt den Wahnsinn dieser Zeit. Auf der Suche nach einem Entkommen aus der Not emigriert die Familie mit Anne, dem Mädchen, in die USA, wo sie die Schule besucht, einen Bachelor und einen Master macht, heiratet und mittlerweile 3 Kinder und 6 Enkelkinder hat. Ihre Erlebnisse auf der Flucht/Vertreibung haben sie jedoch nicht losgelassen, sodaß sie beschloß, ihre Erinnerungen niederzuschreiben. "In Search of a Warm Room" ist das Ergebnis. Lesenswert!



2. This is an excellent book for anyone wanting to know what life was like during WWII for the everyday ethnic German. Although not widely known, the everyday German suffered at the hands of Nazi Germany. This is a compelling read of suffering and triumph of the human spirit. It is a must read for all students of WWII.

1. If you're looking for a book which focuses on Hitler's private life, forget it, you'll have to look elsewhere. The book is decidedly weak in explaining Hitler as a human being. However, there is strength in the military aspects of the book. Hitler's rational for attacking the Soviet Union and his inexplicable (and stupid! decision to declare on the USA on Dec. 11, 1941, are explored in some detail. Remember, this is a very basic work, intended for beginners or people who have a limited grasp og WWII. If you're a serious scholar of the era, this will not be your cup of tea. But if you're just starting to read about World War II and Hitler, this is not a bad start.

1. This is a captivating story of survival that reached epic proportions and stirred sympathetic emotions in me throughout the read. This story gives us a glimpse of what civilization lost because of the Holocaust and is so visually compelling in its imagery, that you feel like your living the story. This is for anyone that is even remotely interested in World War II and the Holocaust. A story of courage, survival, love, suffering, and compassion. You will be surprised at the compassion that is shown by some of the most unlikely people. A new view on the suffering of the Jews and POW's during WW2. A wonderful read!
