When I Was a Boy Edward Abraham

Born in Lacha, a German farming village in Poland, Edward Abraham experienced the German occupation of Poland first hand. He describes the typical farming life in long-established German villages from boyhood eyes, and how it gradually deteriorated under occupation, and, finally, the dramatic and tragic evacuation of German civilians from the terror of the advancing Soviet army. A short memoir of historical interest, the excitement, terror and horror of war and the pleasure of bucolic agriculture villages in Poland.
