As with millions of others, Adeline Perry and her two young daughters endured the horrors of the Second World War in NAZI Germany. Following her death and armed with her manuscript, Captain Hank Bracker and his wife Ursula, Adelines youngest daughter, followed in Adelines footsteps to better understand the ordeal she experienced. Realizing that this book was the only way that her story could be preserved, Captain Hank took on the task of recording it. Ursulas brother-in-law and stepsister, Peter Klett and his wife Jutta drove them to many of the places described in this book including Bischoffsheim, Strasbourg and Rosheim, in what was known as Reichsland Elsa-Lothringen during World War II and which is now recognized as the administrative territory of Alsace-Moselle, France. He found the still existing bunker in Feudenheim and talked to people in Mannheim, berlingen and Bischoffsheim who still remembered some of the details of the incidents in this book. Ursulas sister Brigitte wrote her own manuscripts which helped fill in some previously unknown facts. Suppressed I Rise is an insight into how individual peoples lives were adversely affected by the insane acts of one man and the country he decimated.
