The narrative blends fact and fiction, exploring Helga's teenage years and her later life. It primarily unfolds in London, enriched by episodes that take readers to Germany and South America, offering a diverse backdrop to Helga's experiences and growth.
The narrative chronicles a young girl's life from 1930 to 1989, detailing her experiences in Germany during Hitler's rise, her time in Paris before and after the war, and her eventual settlement in London. There, she trained as a teacher and met her husband, George. Now reflecting on her journey, she has authored several books, including "Frankfurt-meine erste Heimat," which she shares in German schools for reading and discussion. The memoir highlights themes of resilience, identity, and the impact of historical events on personal lives.
