As part of Modern Mrs. Darcy reading challenge, I came upon a book that was a joy to read. The challenge was to read an immigrant story. I chose the book Immigrant Soldier: The Story of a Ritchie Boy. This is a historical fiction written by Kathryn Lang-Slattery. It is the story of her uncle, who was a Jewish boy escaping Nazi Germany to later return as part of the intelligence corps for General Patton. This book open my eyes to a period of history that I knew very little about. Read more( )

"Few will have the greatness to bend history itself, but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation . . . It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped." Robert F. Kennedy 1966

This book is dedicated to all those who, through foresight, determination, and luck, were able to escape Nazi Germany before the trap was fully closed. Their lives were uprooted and changed forever. And, most especially, I dedicate it to those immigrant Ritchie Boys who returned to Europe and used their knowledge, experience, and training to help bring an end to the Nazi terror. Each day, fewer of them are here to share their stories. Finally, but not least, I dedicate this book to the memory of Herman Lang and his wife, Marge. They welcomed me into their home, shared their stories, and encouraged me to write this book.
