October 10, 2003: Reading Mrs. Perreault's book was very moving to me after growing up in the United States and enjoying the freedoms life here offered. Myself, not having any feelings that the German population was responsible for the actions of Hitler, I was touched by her ability to put a face to what they experienced. I learned a lot.

October 08, 2003: I have read this book with deep interest, finding that I am not alone in this world with all of the trauma that I have suffered as a result of being an 'innocent victim' of a brutality that was inflicted by monsters with whom I or my family have had no dealings. I was touched by Inge's reminiscences and can fully understand her 'tumleweed nature'. I too escaped to a different land from my birth, I was forced out as a child to Cologne where Inge spent her childhood, then I escaped again across the world to find a new life away from the traumas to the land of my choice Australia. Inge and I are the innocent victims who have been denied the 'right' to tell our story as to what the war has meant to the 'other victims who are not allowed to speak'. I would recommend this book to any person who wants to know what the real impact of war has on 'normal and innocent people'. We did not cause or participate in this war and yet we are expected to take the 'blame' for what others, in their monstrous actions, did. Congratulations Inge for the courage you had in writing this book. Once I started reading I could not put it down until it was finished. We are a true generation of 'tumbleweeds'.Fred.
