Das Lagerkind : Geschichte aus dem deutschen Krieg by Charlotte Niese
"Das Lagerkind: Geschichte aus dem deutschen Krieg" by Charlotte Niese is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set during the tumultuous time of the Thirty Years' War and revolves around Burga, a young girl who becomes a "lagerkind", or camp child, amidst the chaos and devastation of war. It explores the harsh realities of life during this period, focusing on the experiences of those left vulnerable
by conflict. The opening portion of the novel introduces us to the setting, detailing the landscape of northern Germany during the Thirty Years' War. As communities face violence and hardship, we meet Burga, an eleven or twelve-year-old girl on a desperate quest for food and shelter. She experiences rejection and scorn as she begs for help from the townspeople, who dismiss her as a child of the camps, reflecting the broader societal disdain for those affected by war. Her journey leads to encounters with various characters, including a kind fisherman’s son, Klas, and a loyal dog named Wolf, setting the stage for her struggle for survival in a world ravaged by war. The narrative immerses the reader in the grim realities of the time while hinting at Burga’s resilience and determination to find a place where she belongs.
