Shiksa Eva S. Antwerpen

Shiksa lifts the veil from what has been called Germany?s ?shameful family secret that cannot be acknowledged, not even privately? (see W. G. Sebald, The New Yorker November 4, 2002). The generation of Germans who experienced the apocalyptic times of World War II is passing away, and with them their secrets. Most interested observers must rely on a posteriori histories that lack the emotion and power of the eye-witness account provided by Shiksa. This book presents a view of World War II from the perspective of a young German girl coming of age during the horrors of the Hitler Regime.
