Work Description
Uprooted and Transplanted is a story of displacement, kindness, terror and triumph. Told through the eyes of a young Sudeten boy, Hanns F Skoutajan, it chronicles his family's tense flight from Europe in 1939 to a new life in Canada. Settling at first in northern Saskatchewan with other Sudeten families the Skoutajans spent three years hewing a life for themselves out of the bushland until moving to eastern Canada where Felix, Hanns' father became involved in war industry. It also tells the fate of the family left behind in Czechoslovakia who were ethnically cleansed from their homes to Germany at the end of the war.
