This amazing memoir tells of another type of victim resulting from Hitler's Third Reich and the aftermath of the Holocaust.  Ruth Hanka was a German girl living in western Czechoslovakia with her parents in a large German community when the war ended. This excellent memoir tells a harrowing tale of bravery in the face of desperation and heartache.  Truly stunning in its depiction of a young woman forced to live by her wits and make her own way in a world gone crazy. I sincerely hope that the sequel that Ruth was working on at the time of her death gets published posthumously, as I want to know the rest of the story after her arrival in Germany.
