Overview

A DREAM OF DEMOCRACY is a ten-year-old boy's escape from the Russian invasion of East Prussia at the end of WWII in January 1945. With his mother and sister aboard his aunt's horse-drawn wagon, they fled with thousands of refugees from the barbaric Red Army. Since Hitler and the German Army failed to evacuate or protect German civilians on the Eastern-Front, they ran for their lives on the wagon train west with Russians soldiers on their heels who were determined to seek revenge from Hitler's previous invasion of Russia--pillaging as they went, raping women of all ages and killing the men and boys.
