Description
The book, Silent No More: Personal Narratives of German Women who Survived WWII Expulsion and Deportation by Dr. Erika Vora reveals untold living history of thirty ethnic German survivors who finally broke their silence and talked about their heart-breaking experiences of forced deportation, expulsion, and flight during WWII and its aftermath. They were deported from their homes in Romania and Yugoslavia; expelled from their homes in Czechoslovakia; and had to flee from their homes in Poland and all the Eastern provinces of Germany.
Dr. Erika Vora is Professor Emeritus of Intercultural Communication at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota. She is the author of The Will to Live: A German Family’s Flight from Soviet Rule, and Silent No More: Personal Narratives of German Women who Survived WWII Expulsion and Deportation.
