Description
Forty Autumns: A Family's Story of Courage and Survival on Both Sides of the Berlin Wall by Nina Willner. The story of Hanna, a schoolteacher's daughter who escaped to the West after the end of World War II, is one of survival and courage. Separated from her family, she built a new life in America, while those left behind struggled under Soviet rule. The construction of the Berlin Wall made reunion seem impossible. As the decades passed, Hanna's daughter Nina grew up to become a US Army intelligence officer, leading operations in East Berlin during the Cold War. Meanwhile, Heidi's daughter Cordula trained for the Olympic cycling team. Though separated by only a few miles, their lives were vastly different. The fall of the Berlin Wall reunited the family, and Nina Willner discovered an extraordinary story that brings to life many accounts of courage and survival over four decades. This book vividly recounts the experiences of Hanna's family, shedding light on the human impact of the Cold War era.
