Katchen's Story by Joseph R Costa
On June 10, 1944, a Nazi Waffen-S company on their way to fight in Normandy rounded up all 642 inhabitants (men, women and children) of the small town of Oradour-sur-Glane in Central France, brutally murdered them and then burned and destroyed the entire town. It was reprisal for the capture of a single Waffen-S officer by French resistance fighters in a nearby town. When one considers the pain and suffering inflicted by Nazi Germany, one might have little sympathy for the pain and suffering of Germans during and after the war. Yet, a good many German families had nothing to do with Hitler's rise to power and they too would pay dearly for it. My mother's family was one such example and theirs is an interesting story from those extraordinary times.| SKU | Unavailable |
