Description
Even Bearded Men Cried is a heart-wrenching memoir that recounts the author's harrowing experiences as a young girl during World War II.
Born in Germany, Brigitte Speidel was torn from her childhood and orphaned at just 12 years old. She endured unimaginable hardships, including time in a Hitler Youth boarding school and nursing in Austria amidst Allied bombing raids. Her story takes a poignant turn as she becomes a beggar refugee, only to find redemption and new hope in Canada.
With its unique blend of personal history and historical context, this memoir is accompanied by maps and photographs that add depth and visual interest to the narrative.
