Anneliese Solch was born in 1926 and grew up in a small town in rural Bavaria, Germany. She saw the rise of Hitler and WWII through youthful eyes. She was 19 years old when Germany surrendered in May, 1945. In 1947, Annelee came to the United States to become the bride of a Minnesota GI who had befriended her family immediately after the war ended. She has lived the last 60 years in small town Minnesota.
Annelee has two books about her life experience:
"War Child" is an Award Winning book about growing up in Hitler's Germany. It has recently been reprinted.
"Empty Chairs" is about her 60 years in the U.S., with abundant re-connections with the Germany of her youth.

Recommendations and References:
The Headwaters Center for Lifelong Learning (HCLL) had Annelee Woodstrom speak to us in the winter of 2009. Mrs. Woodstrom delighted the audience with her wit and wisdom. She did a wonderful job of presenting her life story and the history of World War II. We highly recommend her program and her books for anyone who is involved in history, humanities, and peoples' stories.

Dear Annelee,
Thank you so much for presenting to Lifelong Learners in Park Rapids and for being patient about the follow up. We were so pleased to have 54 people attending that day. It was wonderful. Thank you so much for coming.
We have everyone fill in evaluation sheets after each program as you know. All of them came back with Excellent circled. Some of the comments were "Such a heart-breaking and powerful story...", "Excellent PLUS", "I wouldn't have missed this for anything.","What an inspiring life...and how honored are we that she shared...","You couldn't have had a better program.", "Her attitude regarding life is outstanding - we can all learn valuable lessons from her.", "...what a marvelous spirited women!", and "Thank you for sharing.", A board member's wife wrote ausgezeichnet!" I'm sure that means something good. She is a really nice person.
That does mean 'excellent', doesn't it?
