Crossing the Elde Bridge: A Memoir of Survival

By Maria Clark and David Lapham

Born into an aristocratic, Catholic, Austro-Hungarian family, Maria Clark lived a privileged, if isolated, childhood. But her fairy-tale life disintegrated just before Christmas 1939, when she was kidnapped by the Nazis. Maria came to know all the horrors of war and its aftermath; forced labor, starvation, beatings, and more.This is an account of the heroism and fortitude of one young woman who lived through the indescribable atrocities of the most savage war in history. It is a gut-wrenching, heart-breaking, bittersweet story of survival.
