The title catches your attention. The question is relevant and grasping. Yes, the truth is what matters now more than ever. I was just disappointed that the book ended so soon. I wanted more history examples alongside the Holocaust. It could be a more powerful book showing how dictators, cza...

While digging up a withering wax myrtle tree beside his waterfront home on the Gulf coast, author Andy Andrews unearths a rusted metal container filled with Nazi artifacts and begins an intriguing investigation that unlocks an unspoken past that took place in his backyard . . . literally . . . ....
Josef turned from the window to face Helen, who had asked the question. “May I?” he responded. “Josef,” she said, “you’re not a prisoner.
