About this ebook
Meanwhile the Jews and Klaus family suffer increasing persecution, with the threat of imprisonment in concentration camps and extermination at the hands of the S.S.
The two branches of the family become separated by Hitlers anti-Semitism and the Uncles, Aunts and the four cousins suffer contrasting fates as the events of WW2 unfold.
Much research by author Dick Parsons has enabled him to portray this terrible period in European history through the lives of this family of two brothers.
