About This Item
Stroud, Gloucestershire, England: The History Press Ltd, 2010. First paperback Edition [stated]. Presumed First printing. Trade paperback. Very good.. 264 p. Illustrations. Index. Foreword by Melissa Muller. Barbara Cherish's father was an SS officer who ran the concentration camp at Auschwitz. Adopted after the second world war by an American family, she kept her birth father's identity secret for decades. She tells what it's like to be the child of a man responsible for mass murder, and how she finally faced the truth. The author tells her father's story with clarity and without judgement, detailing both his relationship with his family and the very separate life he led as a senior officer of the SS. Captured by the US Army at the end of the war, he was held at Dachau and Nuremberg before being extradited to Poland. He was tried in the 'Auschwitz Trial' at Krakow, found guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity and executed in January 1948.
