Coles Escaping to America: A Post War Refugee Story at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Escaping to America is the story of two people, one from Poland and one from Czechoslovakia, who lived through the Second World War and suffered its aftermath. They were terrorized by the Nazis and then by the Russians. They were evicted from their homes, given three hours to pack what they could carry and leave. Their homes and belongings were confiscated. Family members died along the journey. They were loaded into cattle cars and shipped to the West, landing in Austria and Germany. They watched as their Jewish friends disappeared, assuming that they were being deported and never realizing what was really happening to them until it was all over. They worked hard, clung to their Christian faith, and focused on getting to America, because Germany had been destroyed and wasn't their home anyway. Their story of achieving the American Dream is a true story, and all the characters in this story are real, the only names that were changed were of those who made their journey more difficult.
