Présentation Time For Taking Chances: Leaving Germany As A Teenager After The War Format Broché
- Livre Littérature Générale
Résumé :
Time for Taking Chances: Leaving Germany as a Teenager after the War is an intimate account of a profound transition undertaken by a nineteen-year-old German boy immigrating to Canada in 1951 who saw no hope for his bombed-out country ever getting back on its feet. At the Canadian consulate in Hannover, in whose dramatic ruins he'd lived for six years after the Second World War, Otto Schmalz learned of the possibility for another chance. Canada, way out there on the other side of the Atlantic, needed electricians like him, they told him. His skills in this trade would allow him to immigrate. But after he arrived in a camp outside Montr?al, Otto immediately felt cheated. Penniless, without a job, with no relatives or grasp of the language, this teenage immigrant realized the chance he'd taken in coming to Canada would be followed up with a whole lot more chance-taking, much of it in the company of other immigrants, whose help and friendship were always invaluable. Here is the immigrant's story, a story that many people have experienced, and many more will.
Biographie:
Otto Schmalz was born in Germany a year before the Nazis came to power and lived there during the Nazi era. The hard times he experienced as a child during the war and living amongst the ruins of his hometown, Hannover, gave him the drive to immigrate to Canada-in 1951, with five dollars in his pocket and the shirt on his back. What he didn't have made for a longer list, and included a job and knowledge of the language. Several years ago, Otto's daughter encouraged her fearless and flourishing father to write his memoirs. Otto has already published three books: As the Bombs Fell, Out of the Ruins, and Time for Taking Chances. Taking Chances, his fourth book in a series, ends when Otto is just thirty-four years old. Now eighty-eight and retired, Otto is still writing! He lives in Ottawa with his wife of sixty-four years, Gertrud.
