We are delighted to be coming to the Island of Rugen from our home in Canada to share the publishing of Ingrid’s father’s biography of his life growing up in Sagard, Germany and immigrating to Canada. Ingrid and her husband Bohdan Jarisz, are staying at Hotel am Markt Puszta In Sagard from October 14 17 and have extra copies of Willi Mars’ book available in German or you may download your own copy from Amazon at the link below. Willi Mars was born on May 19, 1935 in Sagar...d, Insel Rugen, Germany on the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea. Coming from a long line of cobblestone road builders, Willi shares stories from the lives of those who shaped his values. In this book, follow his journey growing up in a small community during the Nazi Regime, where his days were filled with exploring the terrain of the Jasmunder Peninsula, the mysteries of this enchanted Island and his unwritten responsibility for family commitment. Willi says it was some of the best times of his life! As WWII progressed and his father was drafted, Willi was instrumental in helping his mother provide for his siblings and his community. Following WWII and the occupation by the Russian Army, then an East German Government, he found his childhood was cut short and his life was quickly transformed. Follow along with his family’s daring escape to West Germany. Experience his isolation and courage as he travelled to Saskatchewan, Canada to work on a farm as a 19-year old and share in his move to British Columbia while falling in love with Irma, his wife of over 60 years. Amaze yourself with the twists and turns that serendipity presents him. Willi, a dedicated father, grandfather, great-grandfather, hard worker and good friend, is a gifted storyteller and this book is the culmination of his incredible life expectations. Willi Mars is a retired Man Who Can Do Anything. He lives in Victoria, BC Canada with his wife Irma, of over 60 years, 4 lovely daughters and their families. The Mars Farm has evolved over half a century and continues to draw family, friends and visitors who are fascinated how Willi and Irma have created such an organic oasis in Victoria, BC, Canada.
