| Description: |
"The astonishing true story of a childhood journey from the occupied Channel Islands to the dark heart of a German prison camp." |
| Synopsis: |
By the time he was six, Stephen had been bombarded by the Luftwaffe and deported from occupied Guernsey, along with his family, to a prison camp in the heart of the Third Reich. He had seen men die in front of him, walked with Jews straight off the cattle-trucks from Bergen-Belsen, and had his hand broken by a German guard for attempting to feed Russian prisoners. After three and a half years of imprisonment, they were eventually returned to a Guernsey which had been stricken to the core by Nazi occupation. Told through Steven Matthews own extraordinary experiences, as well as writing from his mother s diaries and previously unpublished photos of historical significance, this is an utterly unique memoir. Depicting the world of Nazi prison camps through the eyes of a child, it tells not just of the prisoners desperate plight, but provides a reminder that human kindness may flower in the unlikeliest of places." |
