Memories of Growing-Up in Post-Nazi Germany, takes a look back at the history of millions of Germans. Born during or shortly after WWII they have not been able to openly talk about their experiences. It is time to throw off a burden that is not her generation’s responsibility to bear.  Personally she has been marginalized and vilified for her German roots even though she herself lost relatives in Auschwitz and other close family members during WWII. 

Her message that civilians in ANY war ANYWHERE in the world regardless of race, color or religion must be granted a voice as well ought to resonate more than ever today. These are human beings, not merely to be considered “collateral damage.”
