a record of my life, written for my grandchildren, but I
soon realized other people might be interested in my
experiences during World War II and my life afterwards,
especially emigrating to Canada in 1951.
It isn’t easy

grandchildren.
Werner Rettig was born in Rimbach,
Germany in 1931.
He grew up in Weinheim Germany and
went to school there. In 1945 he started his

it yourself person since he likes to build machinery,
buildings and furniture.
