Otto Mueller A Life between Stalin and Hitler
New Beginning in Canada
By Yvonne Schmidhauser
Translation of 'Otto Mueller ein Leben zwischen Stalin und Hitler'. Recorded from personal reminiscences
Otto Mueller
Otto Mueller was born of Russian-German descent in the Ukraine in 1921 and he died in Nanaimo, BC, in 2003.His childhood was fraught with the atrocities of Red Army terrorism: his father's arrest and deportation to a hard labour camp, his own escape to Siberia with his brother, his forced apprenticeship as a cattle breeder, and hard cooperative work in Achdus, a Jewish settlement, instilled in him an intense will to survive. This will gave him the strength to endure the chaotic horror of World War II. His wit, keen mind and faith in God helped him outlive many life-threatening situations. Through his skill as an interpreter, first for the Russians, then later for the Germans, he made his way to the West as one of two survivors of a mass flight in which fifteen-hundred men fled the city of Posen to escape from being slaughtered by the surrounding Russian troops. The end of the war was not the end of Otto’s trials. The Allied Forces, in complying with Russia’s request, extradited Russian-Germans back to Russia. This was equivalent to a death sentence, so once again Otto became a fugitive on the run. Since immigrating to Canada in 1951 Otto has been preoccupied with a quest for truth. He has avidly searched for information, in whatever written material he could find, to determine the roles of Russians, Communists, Germans and Americans in the Great Wars and the Revolution.
Who was evil? Who was good? His conclusion is a question: "Whose truth?"

The 350-018 is not a much costly package. However there are some packages which do not cost much, such as HP0-757. In addition to this 70-551 is also very beneficial but still cheap. This is however a bit expensive but very useful for the final exams. It guarantees 100 percent success just like JN0-341.
