Description - Dark Hours by Gudrun Pausewang

It is February, 1945, in Lower Silesia and Gisela's family is fleeing from the Russian army. They make it to a train station not far from Dresden, but during the journey, Gisela is separated from her pregnant mother. In the hopelessly crowded station the air raid siren goes off and Gisela loses sight of her grandmother, all their belongings and one of her younger brothers.

They survive the air raid, but then realise they are trapped underground with hardly any food or water

'. . .stays long in your memory.'- Der Tagesspiegel, Berlin 22/3/05

'Gudrun Pausewang is not analysing the social conditions - she describes events and doesn't attempt to hide how they came about. This book depicts the everyday life in the war that no child should ever experience again.' - Berliner Zeitung 2/4/05

'A thoroughly gripping book.' - Muenchner Merkur 6/8/05
