Product Description
Much has been written about World War II, but not often do we hear about the immeasurable suffering of the Germans who wanted no part of Hitler's regime. Abandoned and Forgotten is the memoir of a young girl growing up in the then-German province of East Prussia by the Baltic Sea. Orphaned at the age of nine and left to fend for herself in a hostile world, Evelyne Tannehill witnessed firsthand what happens when law and order break down and self-preservation becomes the only thing that matters. Her journey is a poignant example of how resilient the human spirit can be, even in the face of war's greatest horrors.

| Evelyne Tannehill in her very personal story reveals the horrors of war through a young girls experiences. How I admire her ability to survive. She recalls every tramatic episode of her very young life with such detail I felt all her fears and all her fortitude. This book should be read by all who have never experienced war. Perhaps then we would not have any. | | |  | Abandoned and Forgotten Aug 16, 2008 |
| This compelling story of a young girl thrust into the fury and devistation of a war she had no part of except for the sin of being born at the wrong time and in the wrong place. Her story is so powerful that I was only able to read a couple of chapters at a time before I needed a break to regroup. I would strongly recommend this book who has any thought of supporting military action in any part of the world. | | | | Good book Jun 29, 2008 |
| Wow, a real surprise. This is a VERY good book. I am really enjoying it. | | | | Compelling reading and a bit of a history lesson for me Feb 22, 2008 |
| Very good book. Provided enough in the way of historical facts, maps etc to be informative but not dull. I cared about the main character and was always wondering what was going to happen next. I thought I was generally aware of the horrors of WWII but this was an education of how the victimizing and victimazation was dealt and endured back and forth by many different people of many different nationalities and how scary it is that under certain circumstance all human beings are capable of the very best and very worst treatment of one another. Makes me think twice about when I think I'm having a "bad day." | | | Write your own review about Abandoned and Forgotten: An Orphan Girl's Tale of Survival During World War II
