Kätchen's Story: A German Girl Like Me Book 1

Joseph R. Costa

0/5 ( ratings)

On June 10, 1944, a Nazi Waffen-SS company on their way to fight in Normandy rounded up all 642 inhabitants 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 killing of a single Waffen-SS officer by French resistance fighters in a nearby town. When one considers the brutality and cruelty of the Nazis and 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 that had nothing to do with Hitler’s rise to power would pay dearly as well for it. Based in part on the true story of my mother and her family, this is the story of one such German family from those extraordinary times.
