The air raid sirens were screaming from the rooftops like many other nights. The sky was lit up like a Christmas tree, only this night, Koenigsberg was under a barrage of bombings that left us homeless. Mom, Eva and I fled the invading Russian army, with no food or extra clothing and nothing but fear. It started a journey of hunger, frostbite, pain and hope. It also started a search for a new life and a new home. Even today, over half a century later, I suffer recurring nightmare and sleepless nights."
