The War According to Anna

Someone once said, "Some things we see too soon for them to make an impression." That is Anna's story. She didn't know the meaning of rape, or that her mother was living the war on a different level, but Anna did know that all beautiful women were part of the spoils of war. Bombed, shot at, walking on feet bleeding with broken blisters, Anna's mother wheeled two infants in a baby carriage, followed by Anna and her brother pulling a children's wagon, through the exited, rapacious and advancing Russian Army. And through dead and wounded Germans. It is a story of extraordinary grit and determination. The more you read, the more you will love Anna and admire her mother.
