Description

Almost twenty years after the Iron Curtain came down and the borders were opened within Western Europe, I was ready to go back to my place of birth. Hermann Walka's childhood was marred by war even before his life began. He was born on December 30, 1939, in Moravia of western Czechoslovakia. Four months prior, at the start of World War II, powerful German forces invaded his homeland. His family did the best they could to survive everyday life. But when everyday life included air raids and the threat of bombings, it was a struggle. Life was only made more difficult when months later, Hermann's father, the head of the family farm, was forced into the German military. It would be years before his family would see him again. The end of the war only brought more hardship as eastern Czechs, who harbored anger and resentment toward the western Czechs as a result of the war, forced Hermann's family and other townspeople into Austria into housing camps, where he was separated from the rest of his family. Often cold, hungry, dehydrated, and exhausted for long periods of time, Hermann developed Staying Power, the power to persevere, and the faith that things would get better. It was this positivity that would carry him through his entire life, long after the war was over. And it is this positivity that Hermann hopes will inspire readers in the times they struggle. Hermann Walka lives in Texas. Staying Power is his first book.
