New Year's Eve 1944, Ostrau, Czechoslovakia. As the Russian Army mobilizes just 150 kilometers away, a family gathers to plan their escape.

Hoping that American forces will occupy it, author George Mueck's father chooses Dresden as their destination. By May 5, 1945, the family reaches Prague-just as the Prague uprising is beginning. Two days later, the Nazis surrender.

The Sun Will Shine Again shares how the Mueck family escaped death in Prague before being among the three million Czech-Germans expelled from Czechoslovakia by the Bene decree.

Facing homelessness, for George's father, one thing was certain: they had to leave Europe to overcome the tragic memories and start anew without being constantly reminded of the past. They traveled to South America and finally to Canada, where they settled.

The Sun Will Shine Again depicts one family's riches to rags to riches story from 1944 to 1972 and their lives thereafter, making it perfect for those interested in World War II history and stories of survival and triumph after adversity.
