In the second half of my life, my thoughts and feelings have centered around one thing: the Holocaust. In my younger years I avoided that subject, be it in literature or in entertainment, whenever I possibly could. That was not easy. Television was full of programs in which Germans looked stupid and heinous. My own children watched these things with glee; I fled into another room. Since I have always read a lot, I was at least aware of the avalanche of books that were published about the Holocaust. Still, I kept my blinkers on. I firmly told myself that it was not my business, since I was just a child during that time. Sooner or later such an attitude will have to come to an end. It did for me after I fled a difficult marriage and finally began to examine my life. This was a slow process, aided by a patient psychiatrist. Now, years later, I want to write about my life and about the conflicted feelings such a search will cause in a woman of German nationality.

PDF On Being German: A Personal Journey Into the German Experience with Free MOBI EDITION!

Thoughtfully written and carefully examined, this is a memoir from a woman whose first decade was lived in impoverishment and flight, along with her E.Prussian family, during the throes of Hitler’s warring. She incorporates her mother’s recollections which parallel the little girl’s’ vivid memory. After the war and horrors were further revealed, her Mother and returning soldier Father both shut down from the realization of such national shame under the Nazi regime. Her brother died recklessly. Doris and her sister spent their adult lives in two different adopted nations trying to make sense of what happened and why. Doris, raising a family in America, speaks of the enmeshed, crippling shame of “being German”. “All this did not get better with time, it got worse”.She worked through her depth of reaction later in life with help and her own determination to read widely, understand European history, the reality of the holocaust, the nature of shaming, and how any nation or individuals within nations can move forward not repeating such trauma. She quotes an interviewer during the Nuremburg trial who asked what we all wonder: “...the great decisive question here at this trial is how Hitler could keep up such a betrayal like that. How could he manage to delude the people when hundreds of Allied radio stations were saying the truth…?” Hans Fritzsche, a senior official under Goebbels in the Ministry of Propaganda, answered: “the reason for my not believing it was that it had been drummed into us that the Allies were telling lies in the form of propaganda…This is the Satanic triumph of propaganda. It simply closes one’s ears to what is right or what is wrong…What I would like to emanate from the darkness of this tragedy is one spark of life. I mean the realization that the crime does not begin when you murder people. Crime begins with propaganda.”Finger pointing, blame casting has never solved human misery. As Doris details, “it only got worse”. At a time now in America where too easily groups are being labeled as evil by other groups, purposed propaganda is being defended and other views marginalized or cancelled, we must humbly, seriously listen to those who have suffered so terribly under lies, and those around us now who hold different opinions than those we may be quite sure are right. Do you know when or if you are deceived? Do you speak with anyone who has differing opinions to yours? The Russian dissident A. Solzenhenitsyn said “The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either -- but right through every human heart -- and through all human hearts." There is a reason Jesus warned those in the last times of trauma "see to it that you are not deceived"I give this only 4 stars as I noticed a number of editing issues which need attention: H.G. Wells is quoted several times but sometimes attributed as H.C. Wells or H.D. Wells; also there were many hyphen problems -- maybe only this shows up in the Kindle formatting? Fix those and this is easily a 5 star in my opinion.
