By the time he was six years old, Stephen had been bombarded by the Luftwaffe & deported from occupied Guernsey, along with his family, to a prison camp in the heart of Adolf Hitler’s Third Reich.
He had seen men die in front of him & walked with Jewish prisoners straight off the cattle-trucks from Bergen- Belsen.
He had nearly drowned, narrowly avoided being savaged by Alsatian guard dogs, been beaten by a pathological member of the SS & had his hand broken by a guard whilst attempting to feed a Russian prisoner.
The family kept going through three & a half years of imprisonment, reinforced by their strong sense of survival & their loving support for each other, before a dramatic & violent liberation by Allied forces ended their ordeal.
Yet when they were eventually returned to Guernsey, it was to find that their tranquil home had been stricken & scarred by Nazi occupation.
