The terrible events of the Second World War have written millions of stories on the face of history. Uprooted and Transplanted is a story of displacement, kindness, terror and triumph. Told through the eyes of a young Sudeten boy, Hanns Skoutajan, it chronicles his family's tense flight from Europe in 1938 to a new life in Canada. From the initial escape out of the Sudetenland to ordination as a United Church minister, the author's true life story documents one family's dramatic journey in search of home.
