Marie Pal-Brown's suspenseful and vivid account grants the reader entry into the mind and psyche of a German child surviving the end of World War II and the vicissitudes of its aftermath. A memoir of an individuation like hers is a treasure -- a life's work. A valuable example of a writer gathering her memories to lay the groundwork for a final healing. Patrick Roth, Author, Starlite Terrace The best memoirs draw you into another person's world in intimate and moving ways. Daughter of the Enemy does just this, specifically evoking the author's conflicted girlhood of hardship as World War II draws to a close in her native Germany. Throughout the post-war years, just as the fractured nation must face up to its tragic past and what the future might hold, the author struggles through loss, guilt, and forgiveness to ultimately come to terms with who she truly is. Jean Hastings Ardell, Co-author, Making My Pitch: A Woman's Baseball Odyssey
Synopsis
The memoir of a child growing up in wartime and postwar Germany. Her father is killed in battle on the Eastern Front. At age 16, she first learns about the Holocaust. Then begins a reckoning with Germany's horrific past that, eventually, leads her to the Baltic country of Latvia, in search of the father she lost., A child is born in a time of war and, when she is five years old, her father, a soldier in the German Wehrmacht, is killed in battle. Not until that child is grown will she understand the full horror of her country's role in that war. Then begins a long and painful reckoning, a quest for identity and a way to remember a father beloved but nevertheless on the wrong side of history. Marie Pal-Brown's moving and beautifully written memoir faces, without flinching, the complexity of that reckoning. Daughter of the Enemy is both a personal and social history--it recounts how a ravaged people survived the hardships of WWII and postwar Germany and succumbed to the silence surrounding the Holocaust. It weaves, from the frayed strands of memory, a fully human accounting of coming to terms with hard truths, finally creating a tender memorial to the father lost in war. This is a journey, and the journey is a story that has been waiting to be told.
