Boy in a Plaster Cast
A Story of a Childhood Experience
At the end of World War 2
The German people suffered another major catastrophe in terms of economic disaster which befell them. This story tells of the damage done to one particular family both during and after the war.
Focus on a young boy
In particular, it focuses on a four-year-old boy who had the misfortune to contract tuberculosis in his hip joint, which caused him to be incarcerated in a hospital run by nursing staff who had very little sympathy for the children in their charge.
Impact of family changes
The subsequent marriage of his widowed mother to a British soldier had a considerable impact on the quality of his life!
