As an immigrant who in 1956 arrived as a nineteen-year old, looking for educational opportunities denied to me in post-war Germany, the history of my homeland, my mother tongue (and its embedded humor), the grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters I left behind, the social customs, foods, music, and culture - embodied my own past which I had to renegotiate in my new country in a long and painful process of assimilation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book gives a biographical account of my own past and that of my family, both before I emigrated to the United States, and since then. In telling my story, I want to recall experiences and memories that have shaped my life and continue to do so in the present. Some of these experiences are remembered as traumatic, others as blessings.\" - Henning Sehmsdorf\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 138\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.36 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 21, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48784433283320,"sku":"9798985127751","price":41.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5629\/7208\/files\/6Zp9EG5dYX9798985127751.webp?v=1780433435","url":"https:\/\/barneysbooksellers.com\/products\/trauma-and-blessings-autobiography-of-a-prussian-immigrant-paperback","provider":"Barney's Book Sellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
