From Glashütte to Victoria

In 1944 Ewald Schroter was drafted into the last German defense efforts at the age of seventeen. As if the war itself hadn't been hard enough, he found himself as a prisoner of war in Eisenhower's death camps until he was finally released. But his home state of Silesia was annexed away and he had to look elsewhere for a new home.
Canada seemed far away, yet it offered opportunities he could not resist and he embarked on a journey that led him to Western Canada in the 1950s.
