"This is a true story of a young German's investigation into the years of the Third Reich, into the events that made Hitler's Germany a synonym for evil and destruction. When Frank Brandenburg was sixteen, he saw the American TV-movie 'Holocaust.' This came as a shock and a surprise and he decided he had to find out for himself, from living people, whether it had happened, and where, and how. He made contracts with surviving Nazi criminals, old people who remembered what they chose to remember."--Jacket.
