Synopsis: This is the story of a little German girl as she remembers her experiences in war-torn Germany, the endless days and nights filled with fear, hunger, and the struggle to survive during World War II.
At the end of the war, Helga tells of her first encounter with American soldiers and how their kindness and generosity touched her in a way that led to an inner desire to someday live in this great country that everyone was talking about. This is America, this is Great USA.
It is an interesting and adventurous journey that takes place in three countries and tells of a child's life that would be quite difficult for many to envision today.
Autobiography: Helga McKee is a co-author of the book, My Journey of Captivity-Hans Gussmann and was the language translator of the manuscripts from his diary. Beyond her significant role in translating her father's biography, she has independently authored and self-published this book, My Journey to USA: The Extended War Diary of a German POW. Currently, Helga is passionately working on her third book, showcasing her dedication to storytelling.
Born in Nuremberg, Germany, and having spent four years in France, Helga's diverse cultural experiences shape her unique perspective. In 1956, she immigrated to the United States, making Tennessee her home. Residing on a small rural farm near Music City Nashville with her husband Willie, Helga is a devoted mother and a proud grandmother, with six grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
It's essential to note that Helga McKee is not just associated with her father's book. She has also written a book on her own, delved into the creation of short stories, and continues to actively pursue her passion for writing. Her literary pursuits go beyond a singular project, emphasizing her commitment to bringing her creative endeavors to fruition. Amidst her diverse interests, from music, singing, and dancing to spending quality time with family, traveling, and tending to her summertime garden, Helga is a dynamic and inspiring literary figure in her own right.
