Journey Interrupted: A Family Without a Country in a World at War

In the midst of World War II, a German-American family finds themselves stranded in Japan in this inspiring tale of an extraordinary family adapting to the hazards of fate, and finding salvation in each other.

In the spring of 1941, seven-year-old Hildegarde Ercklentz and her family leave their home in New York City and set off for their native Germany, where her father has been recalled to the headquarters of the Commerz & Privat Bank in Berlin. It was meant to be an epic journey, crossing the United States, the Pacific, and Siberiaâ€”but when Hitler invades Russia, a week-long stay in Yokohama, Japan becomes six years of quasi-detention, as Hildegarde and her family are stranded in Japan until the warâ€™s end. In this spellbinding memoir, Mahoney recounts her familyâ€™s moving saga, from their courage in the face of terrible difficultiesâ€”including forced relocation, scarce rations, brutal winters in the Japanese Alpsâ€”to their joyous reunion with their German relatives in Hamburg, and their eventual return to New York City in 1950. Richly detailed and remarkably vivid, Journey Interrupted is a story unlike any otherâ€”the inspiring tale of an extraordinary family adapting to the hazards of fate, and finding salvation in each other.
