A Childhood under Hitler and Stalin: Memoirs of a "Certified Jew"

Rating:
Summary: A Stunning Account
Review: This is a superb translation by Penny Milbouer of an important book for today. Wieck's harrowing account of his life under both Nazi and Soviet domination illuminates a dark tale that reaches far beyond the immediate stories told of WWII to the years of Stalin's occupation of the Eastern reaches of Prussia.

Thoughtful, beautiful, terrible, a book well worth reading despite enduring horrors.
