In August 1946 the first food supplies from American civils reached the Bremer habours. But how was this biggest aid program of the world history until then achieved? Within his book Karl Hemeyer gives an answer to this question, which is as entertaining as it is informative. Home here and home there – but what do you do when you are no longer welcome in your home? What do you do when you cannot fulfill your aims and imaginations at home? The brothers David and Harro Stern from Wesermünde (now Bremerhaven) face exactly these problems when they return home from the Olympic Games in Berlin 1936. As journalists for the Nordsee magazine they spent an exciting time there and made friends with the stadium announcer Henri Nannen, the director Leni Riefenstahl and the Afro American sprinter Ralf, a college of Jesse Owens. They had an eventful future for themselves in their mind and planned to take over their father’s publishing house and expand it. But everything came differently… Because of persecution and escape, then because of war and imprisonment, the disparate brothers and their wayward father are suddenly separated. They never lose sight of their new aim to one day see each other and their father again, despite the constantly threatening and changing dangers and the connected tragedies, as well as the few happy events. Against this historical background a thrilling and adventurous story unfolds about the Brothers Stein whose fate is gripping from the beginning. The author successfully brings the protagonists close to the reader by telling entertainingly, fast/paced and pictorially.
