Description
|
|
|
|
Wolfram Aïchele was nine years old when Hitler came to power, and his formative years in Pforzheim, in southwestern Germany, were spent in the shadow of the Third Reich. His parents—freethinking artists—were outspoken opponents of the Nazis, but could not prevent Wolfram from being drafted into the German army and sent to the Eastern Front, and later to Normandy. Here the author of Nathaniel's Nutmeg and Big Chief Elizabeth overturns many clichés about living under one of the most brutal regimes of modern history, reminding us that civilians on all sides suffered the consequences of World War II.
