Abstract:
A short and quite compact memoir, written probably in the 1990s. Hedy Krasnobrod briefly describes her social and family background, political events in Austria in 1934, later the Anschluss, and her family's efforts to get out of Austria. They went to Belgium which turned into a hostile city after the German invasion. Hedy Krasnobrod was sick and needed an appendectomy. She received false papers by the Belgian underground movement, and worked as a nurse. She experienced the liberation of Brussels on September 4, 1944, and stayed there until 1953 when they moved to Denver, CO.
