{"product_id":"shambles","title":"Shambles","description":"Shambles is the story of Marianne Fischer, a young girl, daughter of a Swiss mother and Austrian father, growing up in the 1930s in the ethnic part of western Czechoslovakia (Bohemia), known as the Sudetenland. Her account tells of her struggles under a Fascist takeover, her capture, internment in a Russian labor camp and ultimate escape to Switzerland, her mother's homeland-and eventual emigration to America. Her story is engrossing, harrowing, chilling, at times poignant, but always told with humor, hope and optimism. It is about the will to survive-\"Durchhalten!\", Hold on!-against all odds. This fascinating memoir should be read by future generations, who will grow up in a world that has all but forgotten personal struggles such as Manya's, a girl who overcame unthinkable circumstances-and lived to tell her story.","brand":"Blurb","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46233110642735,"sku":"9798259914674","price":62.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/2855\/6847\/files\/imageloader_e20db110-12c3-49fb-b6ac-43abf8615a45.jpg?v=1789992044","url":"https:\/\/tssbooks.com\/products\/shambles","provider":"tssbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
