Requests:  0 Summary:  The years 1945 to 1955 were a raw, wild decade that found many Germans politically, economically, and morally bankrupt. Victorious Allied forces occupied the four zones that make up present-day Germany. More than half the population was displaced; 10 million newly released forced laborers and several million prisoners of war returned to an uncertain existence. Cities lay in ruins: no mail, no trains, no traffic. Bodies were still being found beneath the rubble. Using major global political developments as a backdrop, Jähner weaves a series of life stories into a nuanced panorama of a nation undergoing monumental change. Poised between two eras, this decade is portrayed as a period that proved decisive for Germany's future-- and one starkly different from how most of us imagine it today. -- adapted from jacket   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 943.0875 Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 943.0875 Jahner Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 943.0875 Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 943.0875 Ja Checked In Add Copy to MyList
