This book relates to us the experiences of a child under Hitler's dictatorship. It describes the author's activities in the military service and his attempts to survive in a land shattered by war. Of interest for parents, this biography also shows – in practice – how their child’s future can be programmed into success or failure. By taking us directly into the innermost minds of children it illustrates the long-term effects of the adults' words and attitudes. It also implies that, in spite of setbacks and rejections, a sense of persistence and optimism will lead to a meaningful and rewarding life

Broken glass, twisted beams, piles of debris--these are the early memories of the children who grew up amidst the ruins of the Third Reich. More than five decades later, German youth inhabit manicured suburbs and stroll along prosperous pedestrian malls. Shattered Past is a bold reconsideration of the perplexing pattern of Germany's twentieth-century history. Konrad Jarausch and Michael Geyer explore the staggering gap between the country's role in the terrors of war and its subsequent success as a democracy. They argue that the collapse of Communism, national reunification, and the postmodern shift call for a new reading of the country's turbulent development, one that no longer suggests continuity but rupture and conflict. Comprising original essays, the book begins by reexamining the nationalist, socialist, and liberal master narratives that have dominated the presentation of German history but are now losing their hold. Treated next are major issues of recent debate that suggest how new kinds of German history might be written: annihilationist warfare, complicity with dictatorship, the taming of power, the impact of migration, the struggle over national identity, redefinitions of womanhood, and the development of consumption as well as popular culture. The concluding chapters reflect on the country's gradual transition from chaos to civility. This penetrating study will spark a fresh debate about the meaning of the German past during the last century. There is no single master narrative, no Weltgeist, to be discovered. But there is a fascinating story to be told in many different ways.

This autobiography describes the life of a German boy who was born before Hitler came to power. He experienced the years before the Second World War as a young child in Germany where he was trained to become one of the future members of the Nazi party. After the Second World War his life was shattered because all that he had known so far crumbled. In the US he learned, for the first time in his life, what freedom really meant. From his life during the war, he concludes that the West could have finished the war much earlier by allowing Hitler to capitulate, thereby preventing the many deaths and terrible devastation of Europe. In his opinion, the British and certain minority groups in the US were more interested in revenge than to establish peace in Europe.

Both Jewish and Gentile teens played a key role in resisting the Nazi regime. Students will learn first-hand of the different resistance groups in Nazi Germany, from the anti-authoritarian pranksters Edelweiss Pirates to the communist Baum Group to the anti-fascist Christians of The White Rose. This book also examines resistance outside of Germany. While Western European countries focused on military resistance and rescuing children, resistance in Eastern Europe primarily meant survival, as Aryan-looking Jews became couriers carrying badly-needed food to those in need. Students may be inspired toward high-level ethical discussions of the role children played in certain resistance activities and the impossible choices faced by those embroiled in guerrilla warfare in the forests of Eastern Europe.

The Boy With the Broken Smile is a mid-twentieth-century coming-of-age hero's journey based on a true story. At first set in Nazi Germany, the boy helps his Nazi father rescue Jewish children from the death camps. The story begins in a Nazi Lebensborn near Dachau in 1937, moves to Lisbon, Portugal to escape the Nazis pursuing them, to Huntington Beach, California and then to the Mint Hill District of San Francisco from 1941 to 1955. Rodney believes he is the only child of Edith and Norman Baird. His "mother" is an off-and-on alcoholic as well as his dad, who is beaten to near death and dies six days later from sepsis brought on by the savage beating. To soothe her grief, Edith breaks her sobriety and turns to alcohol for her solace, abandoning her son on the streets of San Francisco. By the time Rodney Baird is twelve, he has become a consummate survivor of the tough streets of San Francisco. Rodney learns how to cope-outwitting the predators that roam the streets-but not before he is raped at nine at the Farmer's Market. Revenge stalks Rodney until it is satisfied by the death of the pedophile, and Rodney's involvement in it. The boy's journey growing up is torturous and violent interspersed with hanging out with friends and getting an education. To avoid the youth authorities, Rodney is always clean, well dressed, and never misses a day of school. On his twelfth birthday, Rodney begins an unlikely grandfather-grandson relationship with an elderly Chinese grocer, who he had tried to rob. On his deathbed, the elderly man gives a gun to Rodney, which changes his life and empowers Rodney. The story of Rodney's street life to his high school graduation in 1955 is a San Francisco story set among the working-class inhabitants of an overlooked area of the city by the bay. The story encompasses teen gangs such as the Waller Street Gang, The White Shoe Boys, and the Brown Shoe Boys, streetwalkers, thugs, pimps, playing stoop ball, and swimming in saltwater at Fleishhacker Pool and Crystal Plunge.

Goodbye Marianne is documentary fiction, based on the author's own personal experiences as a child in Nazi Germany and of other Holocaust survivors.

Kristallnacht, or "Night of Broken Glass," was an event that was one of thousands of horrors inflicted on Jews throughout Germany and Austria in a single night and day, November 9-10, 1938. The Nazis destroyed Jewish businesses, synagogues, and personal property and killed nearly one hundred people. Although not the first instance of violence against Jews, it was the beginning of a campaign of savagery unequalled in modern history. This gripping narrative examines German anti-Semitism, the rise of the Nazi Party and Adolf Hitler, the persecution of Jews, and the spark that began the blaze of the Holocaust.

November 9th 1938 is widely seen as a violent turning point in Nazi Germany’s assault on the Jews. An estimated 400 Jews lost their lives in the anti-Semitic pogrom and more than 30,000 were imprisoned or sent to concentration camps, where many were brutally mistreated. Thousands more fled their homelands in Germany and Austria, shocked by what they had seen, heard and experienced. What they took with them was not only the pain of saying farewell but also the memory of terrible scenes: attacks by mobs of drunken Nazis, public humiliations, burning synagogues, inhuman conditions in overcrowded prison cells and concentration camp barracks. The reactions of neighbours and passersby to these barbarities ranged from sympathy and aid to scorn, mockery, and abuse. In 1939 the Harvard sociologist Edward Hartshorne gathered eyewitness accounts of the Kristallnacht from hundreds of Jews who had fled, but Hartshorne joined the Secret Service shortly afterwards and the accounts he gathered were forgotten – until now. These eyewitness testimonies – published here for the first time with a Foreword by Saul Friedländer, the Pulitzer Prize historian and Holocaust survivor – paint a harrowing picture of everyday violence in one of Europe’s darkest moments. This unique and disturbing document will be of great interest to anyone interested in modern history, Nazi Germany and the historical experience of the Jews.
