ISBN: 9780989591515.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the moment Germany ignited World War II, life changed radically for young Elisabeth, her family, and other residents of Wurzburg. When a fire-bombing near the wars end destroyed most of the city, earlier hardships turned into a desperate struggle for survival as the family took shelter in a cabin outside of town.\nThrough it all, Elisabeth found moments of humor and compassion, from a bungled midnight attempt to milk a neighbors goat and a Russian POW risking his life to save her family to communion dresses sewn from the only material on hand--a dead soldiers parachute--and the baker who rewarded Elisabeths mothers confession about stealing a loaf of his bread by giving her another. Together, the stories captured in this memoir provide a gripping picture of everyday life in a world gone up in flames.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44980331577397,"sku":"ByrdShop_0989591514","price":317.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780989591515_5d34729f-cc92-41b4-bfc9-a669953aa502.jpg?v=1792321024","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-city-in-flames-a-childs-recollection-of-world-war-ii-in-wrzburg-germany-9780989591515","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
