Description
A Compelling Story of Survival, Love and Resilience. The spellbinding true story of a young girl in a close-knit coal miner's family unfolds in Germany during six years of World War II and the years that follow. Ursula and her brothers experience normal childhood adventures while the world around them is caught up in the flames of war. The struggle for survival comes alive in Essen, a city in the Ruhr Valley known for its steel industry, coal mines and manufacturing plants. This sensitive account shows war's effect on the civilian population in a war zone and their determination to rebuild their lives in peace.
