What were the conditions in Germany and the rest of Europe after World War II that caused the Dutzmann family to immigrate from Germany to America? What obstacles did they face and what lingering fears beset them as they contemplated setting out on a new life? Like immigrants of every place and time, leaving behind everything familiar even after the devastation of World War II was a daunting prospect, but the cherished dreams of key family members from a young age influenced their experiences during the war and helped shape opportunities in the postwar years. Find out how the generosity of a small town with a big heart in northern Indiana helped a family's unlikely dreams come to fulfillment through immigration to the U.S.
