The Long Journey From B. to C.: A Migrant’s Story by Werner Schmidlin
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.7 MB
Overview: This book is an account of the life of Werner Schmidlin, and his long journey from the picturesque village of Bischoffingen on the Kaiserstuhl, in the southwest corner of Germany, to Cairns in tropical North Queensland, Australia. The thrust of the book lies in the journey – mental and physical – between the two salient points of Bischoffingen and Cairns. It is a migrant’s story.
Werner describes growing up under the Nazi regime, and experiencing the ravages of WW2. He explains what young people did in their spare time, without any of the mod cons young people have today. He describes in detail why he, his wife and their young daughter migrated to Australia, and why Werner and Karola had to wait 50 years to get their wedding photo. He tells what happened on the 6 week long voyage to Australia. And, he recounts the steep learning curve confronting him and his wife as they faced language barriers, and adapted to new customs in their adopted country.
