Siegfried Follies

How could German create a Holocaust? What in the Jewish spirit has provoked persecution through the centuries? This is the question that was asked by our guest Richard Alther. Today he talks with us about his new book "Siegfried Follies". In it he tells a riveting story of two orphans, polar opposites, who forge an intimate bond. Blond and blue-eyed Franz, a Hitler Youth, in fleeing his Nazi birthing home as bombs destroy Munich, saves a filthy, speechless Jewish by thrown from a train. Witnessing atrocities, surviving the loss of family, they create a home and brotherhood that both defies and affirms their past. www.siegfriedfollies.com
