Amidst the chaos of war, survival becomes a desperate blur between memory and reality. This is the haunting story of Peter Mayer, a man thrust into unthinkable choices and unimaginable trials during a forgotten chapter of history.

Torun, Poland, 1939: The Gestapo’s reach tightens around the Mayer family. For Peter, his wife Mary, and their sons, John and Vladek, life becomes a nightmare of forced betrayals and impossible decisions. Under the looming threat of being conscripted as a “Volksdeutsche” informant, Peter is faced with a devastating choice: flee into the unknown or remain and risk sealing his family’s tragic fate.

Abandoning his home and loved ones, Peter embarks on a perilous journey through the borderlands of war. Stripped of identity, he becomes a nameless wanderer among displaced souls, caught in a relentless struggle for survival. But his escape is far from salvation. Attacked and left for dead during a desperate attempt to reach Lithuania, Peter is rescued as a broken man—his body battered, his memory fractured, and his heart haunted by all he’s lost.

Hell to Reality is a gripping tale of resilience, sacrifice, and the indomitable will to survive when the world turns against you. Follow Peter’s harrowing path through war-torn Europe as he battles not only for his life but for the fragments of a past he may never reclaim.
