Reader Reviews
My mom was born in Southern Germany just before the war started. Her and her family went through years of existing on barely any food, never enough blankets and clothes to keep warm in those bitter cold winters. She still remembers the bombs falling near her home and to this day has nightmares about it. "Birth of a Tumbleweed" gives a glimpse into the world of a family who was just trying to survive. Somehow after the war, all Germans were blamed for the sick ideas of Hitler. Inge's generation had to grow up with a heavy load of guilt on their shoulders, guilt thrown upon them not just by the Allied, but by the German government itself. Inge's book took a lot of courage to write, since esp. her generation was expected to just shut up and take the blame. I understand why she moved away. Reading Inge's book gave me a better understanding of what my mom went through. It also encouraged me to stand my ground and to not take any blame for anything that happened back then. (Yes, there are still people out there pointing fingers...)
