print

xv, 94 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm Philomena Keller Baker was nine in 1944 when she and her mother boarded a boxcar attached to a train of wounded German soldiers in Odessa, Ukraine and began a perilous journey, mostly on foot, to American-occupied Germany. Sixty-five years later, Philomena began to tell her story of World War II in personal interviews that resulted, first, in a series of articles in the Bangor Daily News in 2010 and, two years later, in this book. Generously illustrated with precious family photographs Philomena's mother carried with her on their long trek, Flight to Freedom, is the experience of a child recalled as an adult so future generations might have a picture of war not found in history books.
