Where Is My Home?

Rachel is a fifteen-year-old Jewish girl, hiding to stay alive in German-occupied Prague at the end of World War II. Karl is a seventeen-year-old, ethnic-German boy, lured to join the Nazis, who were by then desperate for new recruits. These two unlikely allies are thrown together during the turmoil of Prague?s liberation.



Despite differences, Rachel and Karl find love. Their feelings for each other blossom even as their families, homes and ways of life are destroyed by the chaos of war and hatred. As the Soviet communist regime tightens its grip on war-torn Prague, they decide to try finding Karl?s rural home. Their travels are filled with hardship, and upon reaching their destination they find that only their love offers security.



The characters in Where is My Home ? might be fictional, but the incidents are based on real historical events, witnessed by the author.
