I will check that out. Thanks.

In my 20s, I read Leon Uris’ “Mila 18.” It was the first id heard of the Warsaw Ghetto and I was blown away. Not a single history class in High School or college covered any aspect of the Holocaust. That was 25-30 years after those events.

When my daughter studied in Italy in high school, her host family took us to the concentration camp in Carpi. That was the first time I realized the geographic extent of the camp system and the scale of that operation.

Just a couple months ago, while studying genealogical ancestors in Danzig, Germany, I learned how many camps there were in that region.

I read it also. It was good. He also wrote a good one on the Berlin Airlift. I found one at a used Book Store and bought it. I have learned through experience, as Napoleon is said to have said, “History is fiction agreed upon.” Thanks for sharing the information.
