Summary

By the time Stephen Matthews was six years old, he had been bombarded by the Luftwaffe and deported from Nazi-occupied Guernsey, along with his family, to a prison camp in the heart of Hitler's Third Reich. Told through Stephen's own extraordinary experiences, as well as, writing from his mother's diaries and previously unpublished photos of historical significane, this book is an utterly unique memoir
