A unique, fully illustrated autobiography in full colour covering
over 60 years of the life, art, and ruminations of a Catholic
Priest and accomplished Sculptor...a life worth discovering and
appreciating! Herman Falke was born in Holland in 1928. At a very
early age he chose the religious life and enrolled at a Junior
Seminary outside Amsterdam. However, the German occupation of
Holland changed his reality as a young teenager. He learned how to
survive, seek safety, and obey the occupiers’ orders. His daily
routine was digging trenches along the German border. Food became
scarce and men between the ages of 16 to 50 were rounded up in the
local villages, and resistance was met with a firing squad for
disobeying orders. The arrival of Canadian forces across Holland in
1945 brought an end to the Occupation and Herman returned to the
Seminary to complete his studies. He also began assisting at church
services and became the resident organist. Today, at 93 years of
age, Father Falke still uses his art to temper the sanity in his
life. He has formulated an approach and concept to express the
religious stories he has found using ceramics and wood.
