Children of nowhere

More about the book

Inez Exton takes the reader on a fascinating voyage through her life, back into her early childhood when the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy received its death blow. Through her vivid description we witness Vienna, struggling from destruction and misery into a short respite of blooming intellectual revival. After a visit to the Paris World Exposition of 1937 she returned to Vienna, which was already undermined by the hate-filled propaganda of Nazi rhetoric. Running for dear life from her so-much-loved and now so dangerous Vienna, she had to make a new life in the New World with all its trials and tribulations and final triumphs. In its wide scope of experiences this book brings us a slice of living history of the 20th Century.
