This is the remarkable true story of a young German boy, born in Werschetz, Yugoslavia, who narrowly escaped capture by the Russians; his courageous fight for survival during and after WWII in a refugee school camp, and his incredible journey to freedom, immigration, and the opportunity to live the American Dream. With the Russian front closing in, the order they hoped would never come was given: Evacuate! Evacuate! On the morning of October 1, 1944, Rudy Seamayer, along with hundreds of other children ranging in age from eight to fourteen, accompanied by a few teachers, waved goodbye to their families and friends as the train slowly pulled out of the Werschetz station. Parents stayed behind willing to sacrifice their own lives to save the lives of their children. The train had only been gone a short time when relative calm turned to complete chaos and fear. With the deafening sound of the whistle and screeching brakes, the train finally came to a frightening abrupt stop just at the edge of the mighty Danube River. The Bridge! The Danube River Bridge near Belgrade had been destroyed. They were left with no other choice but to abandon the train with all their food and supplies onboard, and somehow, get across safely to the other side of the traitorous Danube. This was only a prelude to the many struggles for survival they’d face during and after the war. After the war, there was no food, no one knew where their parents or families were or even if they had survived and there was no one to turn to for help. That’s when occupying US troops stepped in to save countless children from starvation and neglect. Rudy, at fourteen years old, made his mind up there and then he'd someday go to America and become a US soldier. Each step of his journey from then on; the search for his family, the continuation of his education and going through the long immigration process brought him closer to living his dream.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Here is an inspiring first-person account of a German child's survival during the horror that was World War II. By Patrica L Kuhn I am an older American who recently married and moved to England. I taught English Lit. and quite a bit of history with it in Texas for 23 years, but when I moved here, I found I knew only a small bit of how it was for Europeans during the war--until now, the stories were just stories I had read or heard and lived from afar during my early childhood. Between my husband, who is 83 now, and this book by the Seamayers, and the accurate, but little-known history included to remind me of the timing, I am becoming increasingly aware of the terrible destruction of the human spirit, as well as the waste of life and treasure, were the World Wars in the early 20th Century from a distinctly more personal view--it is seeping into my blood and bones. As Rudi gives his account of what happened to him as a German child taken from his family in his horrific escape from Yugoslavia, he just seems to take it all in his stride, while showing a normal boyhood proclivity for finding ways to have a spot of slightly naughty boyhood fun with his companions, and an ability to recognize and be thankful for the good things people did for him. Because of this extraordinary ability and his grateful heart (along with self-discipline and hard work) he made his idea of the American Dream a reality. No place in his story did he descend into self-pity. Perhaps the most beautiful thing about the book is the strength and joy that he found even in times of terrible fear and running just ahead of Stalin's Russians in a war that no young person (or any person, for that matter) should have to face in life!

By Amazon Customer Astounding ability of a generation of German children to emerge from debilitating circumstances as sane and productive human beings.Enjoy your read of a teenager thinking he was leaving on a short trip, only to be faced with the perils of war. All things, during this time, worked together to create his destiny. Enjoyed the book.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Beyond my expectations By Amazon Customer Once I started reading last night, it was difficult to put the book down. I just finished it this morning. It's a page turner for sure and very easy to read. I knew that I loved my country before, but now I've deep gratitude for her welcoming Mr. Rudi Seemayer all those years ago. Because of Rudi's dreams and determination I have one of my dearest and longest friends Karen Seamayer Ross. Was it so riveting to me because I know the family? I doubt it, as this story has left me thirsty for more, surely 134 pages isn't enough to tell it all. Thank you to Kay and Rudy for this history book, how grateful your children and grands must be to have it. I highly recommend this book which is available on amazon. My only other hope is that Mr. Rudy will sign my copy some day soon.
