Fritz Wolf Reveals THE HIDDEN GERMAN

Malibu, Calif.

World War II has significantly changed the way Germans were viewed. They were the Nazi warmongers committing horrific abominations. In "THE HIDDEN GERMAN" (published by Xlibris), author Fritz Wolf describes some of the war's fallout growing up in America with emigrant parents from Germany and the wish of these particular Americans to atone and redeem their German heritage.

What was it like growing up in America with parents who came from Germany? After WWI and WWII, the emotional debris of guilt and shame stuck to the faultless children of German emigrants in the United States; the invisible casualties of war, silent and surreptitious, left indelible marks. This book shares the stories of a few of these first-generation Americans, their family histories and the lives they led in the last part of the 20th century with its never-ending wars and, paradoxically, its medical advances to preserve life. Their professional pursuits unfold along with their intimate personal frustrations and hopes. They are physicians in research, psychiatry and oncology attending the university hospitals, mindful of patients' histories and trying to contribute to the general good.

Through the portraits of a woman and the two men she interacts with while they tries to resolve life's conflicts, "THE HIDDEN GERMAN" explores some of the contemporary issues of discrimination faced by the blameless offspring whose only fault was dark legacies beyond their control. Evocative and deeply insightful, it opens the reader's eyes to the chronic repercussions of war and encourages resilience and determination to carry on.
