From the German Side

Books by German writers present the rise of Nazi Germany from the perspective of German youth. Some of the authors, like Hans Peter Richter, were members of Nazi youth groups who try to understand what attracted German youth to Hitler and his ideas. They confront the difficult conflict between friendship and ideals and the ethical choices this conflict entails.

Chotjewitz, David, trans. Doris Orgel. Daniel Half Human. (2000) Simon Pulse. NY: 2006.

Daniel and Armin are German boys who support the rise of the Nazis and are drawn to the Nazi youth movement until Daniel learns that he is half Jewish. His relationship with Armin changes, although Armin tries to be a good Nazi and a good friend at the same time. I found the frequent skips between the 1930’s and post-war period distracting. I also found it hard to believe that Daniel wouldn’t guess his mother was Jewish. The character of Armin is the more interesting, but he is less prominent that Daniel.

Jung, Reinhardt. Trans Anthea Bell. Dreaming in Black and White. (1996) NY: Penguin, 2003.

Hannes Keller, who has cerebral palsy, lives in the present but dreams himself back into Nazi Germany where he is considered an insult to the purity of the Aryan race because of his disability. I am very pleased that there is now a children’s book dealing with the Nazi murder of people with disabilities, mental illness and retardation. But here, too, the constant jumping back and forth between past and present is distracting and the present day scenes add little to the story itself.

Pausewang, Gudrun. Trans. Patricia Crampton. The Final Journey. (1992) NY: Puffin. 1998.

Eleven-year-old Alice has spent years in physical hiding with her family, who have also hid from her the truth about what is happening in Germany. Now traveling in a crowded boxcar to Auschwitz, she faces reality and begins to grow-up. The story follows the inhabitants of the car though nightmarish days of thirst, fear, uncertainty, degradation and for some, death. I found it hard to believe the premise that Alice would be so naïve and undiscerning. Much of the story is based on irony: while the characters cling to hope of a better future, they are actually being transported to the gas chambers. This is not an easy book to read, but it is very powerful.

Richter, Hans Peter. Trans. Edite Kroll. Friedrich. NY: Holt, Rinehart and Winston. 1970.

The moving story of two German boys who grow up as neighbors in the same apartment building. The story chronicles the rise of the Nazis to power and the growing discrimination against the Jewish family through the point of view of the German boy. The Jews, however, are portrayed as helpless victims who are guilty of failing to heed the warnings of their German friends to leave Germany before it is too late.
