SS Jew

by Bart Bare

Think. You are alone—like the other 300 prisoners at your NAZI work camp. All you’ve known for three years is death, starvation and torture. The opportunity to escape requires you to kill a guard. If so, then what would you do? Where would you go? Where to hide? How would you survive in a nation of people who’d be happy to turn you over to the cruelties of the Gestapo? These are some of the choices faced by Gunter Meier, prisoner 57976. What would you do? Caught up in a world of violence and death, Meier experiences an Odyssey across NAZI Germany toward, what he hopes will be, haven. There is no turning back, or turning away, from the situations that force Meier to address the insanity of a world turned upside down by the forces of nationalism, pride, and a desire for blood vengeance. There is ever the question—how do you struggle against the forces of evil without yourself becoming evil? This is a study of an individual caught in the age-old tension between existential realities and deep moral imperatives. Faced with the need for resolution, the reader is left to decide.
