#6 Fear, Hunger and Hope by Christa-Sheila Duggal

She writes of her formative years under the regime of Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers’ Party and how it impacted her and her family. As her family attempted to piece together their lives after the turmoil of the war, Duggal returned to school to a new message from teachers about the marvels of communism; her city by then was divided more than merely the river which ran through it.

In Fear, Hunger and Hope, Duggal uses an intriguing blend of memories and anecdotes and a keen eye for historical fact to craft this fascinating memoir of a childhood lived in a turbulent, divided city. It is a truly unique, first-hand chronicle of 20th century history.
