In My Family and Ancestors, Dieter R. Philippi expands on “parts missed and overlooked” in his 2009 autobiography, My Path Through Life from Europe to the USA. From memories of a confusing and tense childhood in Germany under the Hitler regime to happier adult years as a successful businessman in the United States, Philippi includes a detailed genealogical history dating back to 1792, along with family photographs.
