by Burkhard Bilger
Call Number: MH 940.5537 BILGER
Unexpectedly, Bildger receives a packet of letters from Germany containing hints on his family's secret history. His grandfather, Karl Gönner, was a schoolteacher and Nazi party member from the Black Forest. In 1940, he was sent to a village in occupied France and tasked with turning its children into proper Germans. A fervent Nazi when the war began, he grew close to the villagers over the next four years, till he came to think of himself as their protector, shielding them from his own party's brutality. Yet he was arrested in 1946 and accused of war crimes. Was he guilty or innocent? A vicious collaborator or just an ordinary man, struggling to atone for his country's crimes? Bilger goes to Germany to find out.
