Laughter Wasn't Rationed description:
|
|
|
Born in WWI, Dorothea v.S. Lawson witnessed it all -- the rise and fall of Hitler and his Nazi Party, WWII and the Berlin Wall. Her first-hand account includes the air raids and intense bombing of Berlin, the ever-present hunger, and Soviet invasion and American occupation.
Her life is full of historical facts, but brings out the ordinary citizen perspective not found in history books, including many jokes about the Third Reich once punishable by imprisonment or death. And along the way, you will enjoy a small dose of German culture and 42 photos.
Unfortunately generations die out and the experiences of real people are lost forever. Dorothea's insight is invaluable and has been recognized by several universities that are using her book and knowledge of Europe in their history courses.

| Don Snyder, The Star Newspapers: | | "Lawson's life is almost the history of the 20th century...a must read for anyone like me, a World War II history buff." |
| Gale Curcio, The Mount Vernon Gazette: | | "This poignant recollection reads like a novel. What happened to middle and upper-class Germans may come as a surprise to many." |
| H. Woehler, Oxford, Alabama: | | "A totally different outlook on the whole world war era. It has been a long time that a book has fascinated me as much as this one did." |
