Abstract:
This is the second part of Brigitte Steiner's memoirs. It continues exactly where the first part stopped, at the moments of their departure from Germany in 1935 when the German shore disappeared from their sight. Brigitte describes her and her family's assimilation into the United States. She recounts her first experience with Americans, and her impressions and disappointments with the country's landscape. Hans, her husband, applies for his medical license, and Brigitte and her mother cares for the baby. Brigitte discusses how her life changes when her mother returns to Germany, and how Hans' profession as a doctor influences their life. The memoir ends in the year 1941.
