In working through these various materials documenting the life of her father, Oswald "Valdik" Holzer, she learned of her family history through his remarkable experiences of exile and loss, resilience and hope. In this posthumous memoir, Schirm elegantly re-creates her father's youthful voice as he comes of age as a Jew in interwar Prague, escapes from a Nazi-held army unit, practices medicine in China's war- ravaged interior, and settles in the United States to start a family. Introducing us to a diverse cast of characters ranging from the humorous to the menacing, Holzer's life story is an inspirational account of survival during wartime, a cinematic epic spanning multiple continents, and ultimately a tale with a twist-a book that will move readers for generations to come. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 10 Holzer, Oswald A.,|d1911-2000. 650 0 Jews|zCzech Republic|zBenešov (Okres)|vBiography. 650 0 Jewish refugees|zChina|zShanghai|vBiography. 650 0 Jews, Czech|zChina|zShanghai|vBiography. 651 0 Benešov (Czech Republic : Okres)|vBiography. 700 1 Mulligan, Kate,|enarrator. 700 1 Burns, Traber,|enarrator. 710 2 hoopla digital. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 12306116?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ bsa_9781982631567_180.jpeg
