Forced to grow up in the midst of endemic fear stoked by a ravenous madman, American Shoes portrays the breakdown of a society from a child's point of view, deep inside a land where millions of law-abiding citizens were targeted as threats, and then removed for extermination. This is the story of a brave girl who, despite not being Jewish, was perceived to be one of those threats and was compelled to keep her American identity secret for fear of her family's arrest, concentration camp placement, or worse. Fighting to see through a relentless barrage of Nazi lies and propaganda, caught within a nation where resistance or opposition meant incarceration if not certain death, American Shoes illuminates one family's struggle to survive against impossible odds as a cataclysmic world war marched closer and closer until it was upon them. Vividly told for the first time after seven decades of a family's collective silence, American Shoes reveals the story of a brave and spirited young girl named Rosel who refused to accept the new order of a world gone mad, inside a society that became more sinister and macabre than any childhood nightmare could ever be. Driven by the faint memories of the land where she was born-a hazy beacon that guided her toward freedom and a new life-this is the story of Rosemarie Lengsfeld Turke"--|cProvided by publisher. 521 Ages 12+|bBeyond Words. 600 10 Turke, Rosemarie Lengsfeld,|d1930-|xChildhood and youth. 600 10 Turke, Rosemarie Lengsfeld,|d1930-|xFamily. 600 11 Turke, Rosemarie Lengsfeld,|d1930-|xChildhood and youth. 600 11 Turke, Rosemarie Lengsfeld,|d1930-|xFamily. 610 20 Marine Flasher (Ship) 610 21 Marine Flasher (Ship) 647 7 World War|d(1939-1945)|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01180924 648 7 1900-1999|2fast 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|zGermany. 650 0 National socialism|xSocial aspects. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xChildren|zPoland|zWrocław |vBiography. 650 0 World War, 1939-1945|xRefugees|zGermany. 650 0 Refugees|zUnited States|xHistory|y20th century. 650 1 World War, 1939-1945|vPersonal narratives, American. 650 1 National socialism|xSocial aspects. 650 1 World War, 1939-1945|xChildren|zPoland|zWrocław |vBiography. 650 1 World War, 1939-1945|xRefugees|zGermany. 650 1 Refugees|xHistory|y20th century. 650 7 Children.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00854835 650 7 Families.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01728849 650 7 National socialism|xSocial aspects.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01033778 650 7 Refugees.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01092797 651 0 Wrocław (Poland)|vBiography. 651 1 Wrocław (Poland)|vBiography. 651 7 Germany.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01210272 651 7 Poland|zWrocław.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01208518 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 Biographies.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Juvenile works.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411637 655 7 Personal narratives|vAmerican.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01424071 655 7 Personal narratives.|2lcgft 655 7 Autobiographies.|2lcgft 700 1 Turke, Garrett L.,|eauthor. 776 08 |iOnline version:|aTurke, Rosemarie Lengsfeld,|tAmerican shoes|bFirst Beyond Words hardcover edition|dPortland, Oregon : Beyond Words, 2022|z9781582708539|w(DLC) 2021040491 914 FARM290438 994 C0|bCKE
