Escaping Hitler is the true story, covering ninety years, of a
fourteen-year-old boy Gunter Stern who, when Adolf Hitler
threatened hisfamily, education and future, resolved to escape from
his rural village of Nickenich in the German Rhineland. In July
1939 Gunter boarded a bus to the border with Luxembourg, illegally
crossed the river and walked alone for seven days through Belgium
into Holland, intent on catching a ferry to England and freedom.
The outcome was not exactly as he had planned.The author gathered
her information through interviews with Gunter, now known as Joe
Stirling, and with those closest to him. During an emotional
'foot-stepping' journey in September 2013 the author visited
Gunter's birthplace, met with a school friend, discovered the
apartment in Koblenz where he fled following Kristallnacht in 1938,
drove the route of Gunter's walk through Europe and retraced the
final steps of his parents prior to their deportation to a Nazi
death camp in Poland during 1942.
