Immigrant Dreams is a memoir – the story of one immigrant’s journey in 1950 from postwar Germany to the United States. Barbara was born in 1936, under Hitler’s regime. Her earliest years are shaped by the Second World War and its atrocities. Five postwar years later, she immigrates to the United States as a teenager where her American dream begins to take shape. Believing that education is as necessary as bread, she searches for a way to attend a university. As her skill in her newly adopted language improves, the dream expands to include a writing career as a poet and a creative writer. Like the immigrant relatives who came before her, Barbara is willing to work hard physically and mentally so as to grasp every opportunity that may be offered. Realizing her dream will take ambition, determination, stamina – and, as the author recounts in this stirring tale – a good deal of luck.
