Wow! Quite a story! There are a lot of Sri Lankan people in Germany and Switzerland. I have good friends from Sri Lanka. Does your cousin enjoy Germany?
Wonderful! Are you part Germa or did he move here?
I am from Southern Germany “Baden-Württemberg”. The KZ Natzweiler is actually on French soil though - in the Alsace. It is the only KZ in France.
Apologies for my lengthy absence.The semester started last week. To all of you who are also at university - have a great start!
The bold part of the letter is an original translation from a letter that Hirt wrote to Himmler in early 1942. The rest of the letter is fictional. Wimmer and Kiesselbach both worked with August Hirt.
I believe the best way to learn from history is to let the figures speak for themselves. However, it is essential to understand the historical context—secondary literature and research are necessary. I want to emphasize (again) that this book is NOT a work of Nazi propaganda. I will remove comments sympathizing with Hitler's speech(es).
Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear you're enoying it!
Thank you! I'm very excited to hear that you enjoy this novel. I recently had the opportunity to visit the KZ Natzweiler-Struthof, which inspired me to write this book.
Luftwaffenoffizier Dr. Wimmer was there. I have not found much out about him. Ferdinand Holl was a Kapo who took part in the experiments. He was one of the key witnesses to Hirts crimes.
I’m sorry that his parents are homophobic but it’s wonderful to hear that he’s found a place and partner in Germany!
