About the Book
My book traces our family’s odyssey from 1938 when we were forced to flee Austria to seek refuge in France. Part 2, “A New Life in America,” deals with my life in New York City as a young woman of eighteen trying to adjust to life in the United States.
About the Author
Eva Edmands-Acher was born in Vienna, Austria, in 1929. Because her father was a noted journalist, at the annexation of Austria by Germany, she and her parents were forced to flee to Paris. In 1940, after the division of France, they were forced to seek refuge in southeastern France, then in the French Alps where they were sheltered by a Catholic priest until the end of WWII.
