Displaced Persons

After Growing Up And Hearing Many Stories About His Parents Experiences In Europe Before During And After World War Ii Richard E. Fuerch Decided That He Had To Preserve These Stories For His Family. He Took On The Task Of Interviewing His Parents Taking Elaborate Notes And Weaving A Narrative From What He Had Assembled. The Initial Product Was A Forty Page Binder Comprising A Brief Retelling Of The Stories That Were Told To Him. After Many Years He Decided To Put It All Together In The Form Of A Book. This Is The Story Of My Parents; Their Family History In Poland And Czechoslovakia; Their Survival Of World War Ii; Their Refugee Experience In The Wake Of The Devastation Of The War And Their Eventual Immigration From War Torn Europe To The United States Of America. I Wrote This Book Because I Wanted To Document Their Incredible Story For My Siblings My Children And My Niece And Nephew. While Their'S Was An Oft Repeated Commonly Experienced Voyage Through Life It Is One That Is Rarely Told Especially Within The Context Of The Horrible Tragedy That Was World War Ii.
