It was meant to be an epic journey, crossing the United States, the Pacific, and Siberia—but when Hitler invades Russia, a week-long stay in Yokohama, Japan becomes six years of quasi-detention, as Hildegarde and her family are stranded in Japan until the war's end. In this spellbinding memoir, Mahoney recounts her family's moving saga, from their courage in the face of terrible difficulties—including forced relocation, scarce rations, brutal winters in the Japanese Alps—to their joyous reunion with their German relatives in Hamburg, and their eventual return to New York City in 1950. Richly detailed and remarkably vivid, Journey Interrupted is a story unlike any other—the inspiring tale of an extraordinary family adapting to the hazards of fate, and finding salvation in each other." --|cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Mahoney, Hildegarde. 650 0 Ercklentz family. 650 0 German American families|vBiography. 650 0 Voyages around the world|vBiography. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945. 651 0 New York (N.Y.) 651 0 Japan. 651 0 Germany. 994 C0|bWHP
