This book tells the history of the Spickschen family, often using actual narratives, and it is unique because of the wealth of source material and interviews with witnesses available to the author who was then able to make the characters come alive. The parents lived through two world wars, the difficult times during and between these wars and the devastation in Germany following World War II. The Spickschens are survivors and this book allows you to live along with them as they fought to stay alive and keep their family together through the most dangerous and destructive period in modern European history.

This book will captivate you from the family’s ancestral history and its anecdotes through their trials, frustration and tribulations of the 1920s, their accomplishments and successes in the 1030s and early 1940s, the narrow escape of most of the family from the advancing Soviet army as the Third Reich collapsed and their hardships following the War. Finally, the story moves into the post-war reconstruction era and allows a glimpse at how the Spcikschen family was forever changed by their experiences.

Despite all of the adversities they endured, the parents taught, their children to always trust in God and to love and support each other and to respect and be tolerant to the people around them. The Spickschen family has now grown to over 100 members who live in two continents, Europe and North America. While their parents have passsed, the remaining four original siblings keep in close contact with each other and every three years a family reunion is held that brings most of the family together.
