Charles Ota Heller

Author Charles Ota Heller's early childhood in Czechoslovakia was idyllic, but his safe and happy world didn't last long. Three years after his birth, Germany forced an occupation of his country; afterward, most of his young life consisted of running and hiding. His life, just like those of the other youths in the late 1930s and early 1940s, was shaped forever by the dangers, horrors, and unsettling events he experienced.- Taken from book jacket
