Based off the memoire By Irmgard A. Hunt this is this story of a young child who has no choice in the life she is forced to live, no opinion worth voicing as the adults around her argue, fight, die and force problems that she doesn't understand onto her. This is her story in short form, I hope you enjoy and as alway thank you for reading. Dedicated to @MiriaFernandes for helping me with the German.
