Red Sky Nights (ePub)

Ingrid Dickson was born in 1936 to German parents. Ingrid's mother was raised in a circus family led by Ingrid's Grandfather, who was the trapeze "flier". She and her sister, Ingrid's aunt, were trained to perform in a side-show. Together, they created a sister-act that included singing, dancing, and acrobatic horses. When Ingrid's mother married, she gave up performance. However, Ingrid's aunt went on to establish her career as a song and dance performer, as noted in some of the stories.
When the war began, due to his technical expertise, Ingrid's father was forced to work as an engineer for the Nazi Party under the threat of death to him and his entire family. Not much is known about his work. However, Ingrid described memories of riding with him in large cavalcades of decorated limousines, and on occasion, visiting the beach with Hitler. After the war, Ingrid's father was offered professional asylum by the United States and the USSR. He refused both and stayed in Germany making small, hand-held radios for a living.
Under the infamous, harrowing circumstances of WWII, despite Ingrid's father's high-ranking position, his own family got entangled in life-threatening situations often with no hope to be seen. However, Ingrid's stories describe how her mother chose to act with an indomitable spirit of hope, courage and creativity to find a way through.
