Description
Christian Studer - Verdingbub: "At the age of ten, I was taken to a foster family on the Längenberg (a range of hills above the Gürbetal valley) as a welcome worker and shoeshine boy for the family and neighbors ... Until the age of twenty, I was a farmhand for my own father on the alp in the summer. It is important to note in my book that I do not speak ill of or wish ill upon a single person, nor do I wish to offend anyone I mention by name in any way. On the contrary: I am grateful to many people for helping us time and again under these difficult circumstances. Of course there was a lot of unpleasantness, but where was there not? With this book, I want to show those who still laugh today and make fun of my time as a child that I don't have to hide in any way, especially despite this difficult time."
