Book Description
Joachim "Joe" Nitz, born December 31, 1937, in Berlin, Germany, lived his early life amid the chaos of World War II. Forced to flee Berlin as bombs fell, Joe found refuge in Poland and Northern Germany with his sister and mother while his father languished in a Russian camp. Through run-ins with Russian soldiers and war-related difficulties such as hunger and trauma, Joe and his family persevered. Joe later became an engineer, fell in love with Helen and emigrated to the United States, where he has lived since '73. Joe is the proud father of two and grandfather of four. His story shows how a silver lining can be found in even the darkest times.
