Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Urchin on the Beat is the captivating second volume of Uwe Siemon-Netto's memoir series, detailing his tumultuous teenage years in post-war Germany. The story picks up in 1947, where young Uwe endures daily persecution in the Soviet-controlled zone, targeted by his Communist teacher for being a Christian. Desperate for freedom, he escapes to West Germany, leaving behind his beloved grandmother, who had protected him from Nazi indoctrination. In West Germany, Uwe's challenges continue. He lives alone in a freezing attic, works menial jobs to survive, and attends a boarding school with an unusual religious atmosphere. Despite these struggles, his passion for art and writing blossoms, leading him to contribute to a local newspaper. Uwe's life takes a significant turn when he hones his language skills in England and France and begins training as a journalist. By age 21, he is a desk editor at the Associated Press, launching a distinguished career in international journalism.
