Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Shambles is the first hand account of Marianne Fischer, daughter of a Swiss mother and Austrian father, growing up in the ethnic German part of Czechoslovakia, know as the "Sudetenland". She describes her girlhood struggles under a Fascist takeover, her capture, her internment in a Russian labor camp and ultimate escape to her aunt in Switzerland, and her eventual immigration to America. Her story is engrossing, harrowing, at times poignant, yet always told with humor, hope and optimism. It is about the will to survive--"durchhalten!"--"hold on!" against all odds. This fascinating memoir should be read and remembered by future generations, who will grow up in a world that has all but forgotten personal struggles such as Manya's, who overcame unthinkable circumstances--and lived to tell her story.
