«Une enfance en Prusse orientale» is the memoir of Countess Marion Dönhoff, published by Albin Michel in hardcover (244 pages, in French).
Marion Dönhoff recalls her youth in East Prussia: hunts, horse rides and the aristocracy of the empire. Her testimony portrays a province divided after World War II between Russia and Poland; in 1945, the Soviet advance, the burning of the estate and the death of relatives lead her into exile in Hamburg.
Marion Dönhoff was editor-in-chief and director of the weekly Die Zeit. The text is translated from German by Colette Kowalski.
A read for those interested in aristocratic memoirs, the history of East Prussia and testimonies of twentieth-century Eastern Europe.
