As a teenager, he fled Nazi Germany and landed in rural Australia. Harry's parents, Max and Edith, stayed and perished in Nazi camps.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis story, of forced migration, assimilation, loss, resilience and determination despite the odds, is one that has been lived countless times throughout history and continues to be a common human experience. Harry's particular experience also tells the history of refugee farmers in rural Australia and migrant labour companies during WWII.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eScholfield-Peters tells her grandfather's story with three intertwining threads: a sketched-out history based on Harry's testimony and documentary history; her engagement with this personal history from a third-generation perspective; and the present story of Harry's growing infirmities and eventual death in early 2021 at age 100.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough the hybrid narrative non-fiction form, Scholfield-Peters investigates her family history and seeks to share an ethical historical account of Harry's life. This work necessarily skirts the edges of fiction and non-fiction, as Scholfield-Peters weaves her deep research with Harry's recollections and imagines the unknown details.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46861504675998,"sku":"ADS-9781922507518","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781922507518.jpg?v=1779253106","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781922507518","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
