WHO is going to Ostpreussen?


The Fischers

Klaus Dieter
Hans Arno
Heide-marie (Lavier)
Ursel Margarete (Bond)
Rose-marie (MacLean)


From "Where Hoffman Told His Fairytales" [Page 16]...
She did not grieve alone. Her ‘international family', as she liked to call her children, was by her side. Her two sons, born back in East Prussia and with whom she had fled her home. The always unassuming refugee child Heide-Marie, born after the war. And her two Ottawa-born daughters Rose-Marie, born in 1957, and Ursel Margarete, born in 1958, both Canadian citizens before even their parents had the honour. 


From "Where Hoffman Told His Fairytales" [Page 18]...
Over the years, her children in Canada would bring her pencil and paper, begging her to finally write down how it was back in Königsberg and East Prussia. This is therefore dedicated to them: “Every word a lonely hour, every thought a memory!"
