DORA

by Jean Michel

El túnel de Dora "fue el infierno de todos los campos de concentración". Aquel túnel albergó los cohetes secretos de Hitler. Para construir aquellas "pirámides de la Ciencia" murieron treinta mil hombres, deportados hasta allí desde todos los rincones de Europa. No obstante, se trata de algo que ha convenido olvidar, que se ha procurado enterrar, ya que los científicos de Dora son hoy aclamados como los conquistadores del espacio. Dora, que acabó por convertirse en un feudo de las SS, fue escenario de increíbles atrocidades, cometidas contra los deportados allí.

[Bob Crawford · Rating 5 out of 5]

As the saying goes, “history is written by the winners.” And in the case of Nazi rocket scientist turned naturalized American Werner von Braun, it was also written my Walt Disney.
It was Disney’s series with von Braun and numerous popular magazine articles that brought him to popular American culture and ultimately made him a hero of the Apollo moon program.
But author Jean Michel knows Neil Armstrong was metaphorically walking in the dust of those murdered at the V-2 rocket assembly concentration camp of Dora where von Braun’s slave labor came from. Most Americans recognize the camp names of Dachau, Auschwitz or Bergen-Belsen, but Dora is largely forgotten. John Michel believe that is by design.
For that reason, this is an important book, for as they also say, those who forget (or ignore) history are doomed to repeat it.
