ONE WOMAN'S ODYSSEY OF LIFE AND LOVE ACROSS NAZI GERMANY AND POSTWAR EUROPE
"I want to live an extraordinary life." Inge Krumm-Heller yearned to live the life of a modern, independent woman in Nazi Germany. From her childhood in East Prussia and labor service with the Reichsarbeitsdienst, to the hardships and air raids of the Second World War, Inge emerged ready to face a bold new world turned upside down by the American occupation. When a mysterious stranger brings news of Inge's missing parents, she embarks upon an odyssey across the ruins of Europe to find them and, ultimately, to build a new life with her new husband in postwar Paris and beyond.
The Other Side of Ordinary is a reminder that the lives of our ancestors influence us to become who we are, and that the isolated events of their lives can become touchstones in our own.Their stories shape the arc of our existence and fuel our own search for family histories.
