This vivid recreation of family life as experienced in Nazi Germany
during and after the Second World War tells the stories of mothers
and fathers, sons and daughters, parents and children, in their own
words. From desperate last letters sent to their loved ones by
doomed soldiers at Stalingrad, to diaries kept by women trying to
keep their families alive as the cities they lived in were
devastated by constant bombing raids, this book presents a new and
often unfamiliar account of family life under the most extreme
conditions. Far from disintegrating under the strain, as many
historians have argued, this book shows that the German family
maintained and even strengthened the emotional bonds that tied its
members together. Entering the war shaped, moulded and directed by
the massive pressures brought to bear on it by Nazism's attempt to
recast German society in its own image, the German family resisted
these pressures and emerged at the end of the war in a new and
stronger form, surviving the manifold problems of reunion and
readjustment to the postwar, post-Nazi world with a surprising
degree of resilience.
