Everybody Loved Anna
A German Family’s Story (1930–1965)
By Anna Louise Haman with David Augustin Froebel
Nazi Germany was a land of horror, even for a non-Jewish girl born in 1952 and raised according to liberal Christian traditions.
In her small rural hometown, young Anna Haman was deeply impacted by her father’s experience in a Soviet prisoner of war camp so brutal that it drove him mad. She was terrified to learn about her grandfather’s arrest by Hitler’s SS troops, who also beat her mother unconscious, and of events causing her great aunt to take her own life. In her neighborhood soccer field, twelve-year-old Anna watched the excavation of a mass grave of infants.
Then at age twenty-eight Anna set off to search for a new, more peaceful life in the far-flung corner of the United States known as New Mexico. There she devoted herself to journalism, astrology, Sufism, and American Indian ceremonies to seek a new kind of existence free from the evils of her childhood. Her quest makes for an unforgettable adventure of the human spirit.
David Augustin Froebel, Anna Haman’s American husband, helped her translate and tell the story of her life and her family. She, in turn, helped him heal from his own horror related to his Vietnam War experiences.
