An East German Girl

By: Claudia Frances Muro with Sigrid Rohde Muro

An American-born daughter recounts her German-born mother’s life in Europe and America beginning in the 1940s until the present. Claudia reveals the courage and spunk of her grandparents, her mother Sigrid, and her extended family, who experienced war, Depression, and Communism. She shares both historical and family tidbits and discovers intellectual as well as amusing connections to her relatives. Claudia and Sigrid reflect on how their German heritage has shaped their outlooks on politics, society, and our humanity. They also reflect on the meaning and importance of freedom.
