While growing up, she started asking questions about why so many children in her school were being raised by just their mothers. The answer would be, "My father died in the war." Alyce felt fortunate that her father was able to escape this undeserved fate. Nobody would talk about what really happened until Alyce started collecting stories and interviewing family members.
At twenty-three years old, Alyce immigrated to the United States with full intent to tell the story of the Nazis' crimes in Putten. Working, sometimes holding two or three jobs, and raising a daughter by herself got in the way of actually sitting down to write a manuscript.
Alyce, now retired, lives with her husband in Colorado. Retirement gave her the opportunity to finally put her stories, research, and interviews together to tell this important historic story about her birthplace.view less
