Abstract:

Eva Gross was the first child in a family with a Jewish father and a Lutheran Protestant mother. This is an account of her youth in Eastern Pomerania where she experienced the growing difficulties of living under the Nazi regime and her move, as a teenager, to Belfast where she completed her education and later became a teacher. She describes her early years as pupil teacher in a Belfast boarding school, the restrictions that were imposed during the war on 'enemy aliens' and the hospitality and friendship she enjoyed in the country which she now calls home.
