(de mémoire filiale et familiale). ( ) Mrs. Wibke's dad was an Anti-Hitler Conspirator named Hans Georg Klamroth, executed in August, 1944. This is a collection of family documents culminating in a biography of her father and a relation of the family's troubles in WWII. The english-speaking reader seldom has such an intimate portrait of a middle-class German family and their concerns. Good read. Dieses Buch schildert die interessante Spurensuche der Autorin in ihrer Familie, eine Geschichte, die deutsche Geschichte lebendig macht. Am Beispiel der Familie Klamroth wird exemplarisch deutlich, wie eine großbürgerliche Familie vom Kaiserreich bis zur Kapitulation 1945 lebt und fühlt. Der Vater der Autorin, begeisterter Militär und Offizier wird schließlich als 20.-Juli-Verschwörer in Plötzensee hingerichtet. Ein hochinteressantes Buch! The book is well written and is full of interesting historical data about why the Second World War was inevitable outcome of the unfair Versailles Treaty, in the eyes of the Germans who were not defeated militarily in the Great War. It also states that an anti Jewish party had one seventeen seats back in the 1870's and that anti Semitism was not a new phenomenon of the Nazis. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

In August, 1944, Major Hans Georg Klamroth was tried and executed for treason for his part in the July plot against Hitler. Wibke Bruhns, his youngest daughter, was six years old. Decades later, watching a documentary, she saw images of her father on-screen. "I stare at this man with the empty face. I don't know him. But I can see myself in him... I know I resemble him. I know I wouldn't be here without him. And what do I know about him? Nothing at all." How could her patriotic family succumb to Nazi sympathies? And what made her father finally renounce Hitler? With letters and diaries documenting the story of her family, from the time of Kaiser Wilhelm to the end of the Second World War, she unravels her family's history-- the experience of being German in the last century.--From publisher description.
