And Then There Were None: Mannheim (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780990496861)

This book is dedicated to the fifty-seven million men, women, and children, mostly Europeans, who fell victim to World War II. This book is also written in defense of those Germans who had no voice in the creation of the Third Reich, but are still blamed for the genocide of SIX million Jews. And while no words can adequately describe the cruelty to all life forms that is part of warfare, it will give my children and my children's children a real perspective of what it meant to exist, endure and survive Hitler's Third Reich and World War II. While the political climate of that time was determined by men, it would be the widows, the orphans and the maimed survivors who would carry the burden of reconstruction, and endure subsistence levels of existence in silent desperation in order to return their ravaged world to cultural and economic normalcy. Wars are often justified by a male oriented minority. They are led by Kings, Emperors, and Presidents or as in this case, the Fuehrer. They are patriarchal in nature, by definition male, and apparently without qualms about shedding innocent blood. Most of them are quick to justify the WAR. World War I was justified by the assassination of a Crown Prince at Sarajevo. World War II was justified by the unfairness of the Treaty of Versailles, caused by World War I.
