This program is based on Kirsch’s book Flight of Remembrance, which focuses on the experiences of her parents in Germany during World War 2 – her father was unwillingly drafted into the Luftwaffe, the family surviving the bombing of Berlin, the hardships of POW camps and deprivation of post-war years, and their eventual immigration to the United States. (An interesting side note: her parents are still alive and happily living in NH!) Kirsch’s program draws attention to WW2 as experienced by ordinary people who lived in Germany during that era to provide a fuller picture of war’s devastation.
