Dorothea Gutzeit: Be True and Serve di Dorothea Gutzeit
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.Enjoyed this book more than I thought I would. Fascinating to read what it was like for a child growing up in Hitler's Germany. The author writes well and she has certainly lived an interesting life! Definitely worth a read if you like autobiography.
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.I didn't realise it was going to take me this long to finish this memoir, but it was my on-the-go reading on my phone and those quite frequently get done slowly. That said, I really did enjoy reading about Dorothea's life as a resourceful young woman, eventually with a growing family, in Germany and then as an immigrant in Canada. The descriptions of surviving through the war were very evocative, as were the occasional adventures of getting settled in Canada.
Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.I received a few copy of this book so I could do an early review. I read the book and forgot all about the review until I saw it again so I apologize for being late on the review.
I loved this book. It was well written and while reading it I felt like the author was there telling the story. I am a bigger fan of fiction than non-fiction so I was honestly surprised with the love I felt for this book.

Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.The language of Gutzeit's book is simple and straightforward. At the very least, Gutzeit's story is about herself starting with her earliest memories and moving through adulthood, marriage and raising and family; but more than that it is a commentary on history; a front row seat to the rise of Hitler's power (Gutzeit's family fully supported Hitler when he became chancellor.) and the early beginnings of World War II. It is fascinating to watch history unfold in this manner. Gutzeit was just a girl of twelve years old but could still remember the passion with which her mother and sister defended Adolf Hitler as a saving grace.
If the published version contains the same photographs it will be a very generous collection.
My only negative? There are a lot of blank pages with the PDF version. I realize that had I read the book in standard print, I would have skipped over those blank pages without a problem. Scrolling through them made them more obvious to me. Not counting the blank pages, this is a very short book.… (altro)
