Kurzfassung:
The memoir "A Walk Through My Life" is divided into three parts. The first section is entitled "From Birth through World War I to World War 2", part two is called "World War 2", and part three "The Years from 1946-2002". At the end is a short section - "Memorial" - which gives room to his family to honour the legacy of their grandfather and father after his death, with additional prayer texts and songs. After an introduction to the family brewing business, the memoir covers Frederick Landmann's years of education and apprenticeship, then his business travel for the family brewing supplies business to the Far East. He describes the rise of Hitler in Germany and all the obstacles and persecution this brought to his family, leading to his flight from the country in 1938. The memoir then describes New York during World War 2, and Mr. Landmann's efforts to secure his living, then talks about his time at the US Army and the War crime trials at Nuremberg. Back in the USA, he rejoins his family and continues his career in the brewing industry.
