Summary:
Escaping Hitler is the true story, covering ninety years, of
Günter
Stern
who, at fourteen, when Adolf Hitler threatened his family, education, and future, resolved to escape from his rural village of Nickenich in the German Rhineland. In July 1939,
Günter
boarded a bus to the border of Luxembourg, illegally crossed the river, and walked alone for seven days through Belgium and into Holland. He was intent on catching a ferry to England and freedom, but the outcome of his journey was not exactly as he had planned. Scrivens gathered her information through interviews with
Günter
, now known as Joe Stirling, and with those closest to him.
