Colditz: The German Story

by

Reinhold Eggers

Why we're reading this: Another escape book and it's written from the POV of the security guard at Colditz, so it adds an extra dimension. He explains how he came to be there, the game of cat-and-mouse inside the castle and what happened to him after the war (he was captured by the Russians).

The Man Who Broke Into Auschwitz: A True Story of World War II

by

Why we're reading this: It's about WWII! The man had a very interesting life. It's good if you like hearing about his day to day soldiering life, interesting occurrences, such as surviving from a torpedoed ship after recently becoming a POW. The title is a little misleading, but he was held in a POW camp at Auschwitz III alongside Jewish prisoners and it includes his death march experiences. His life after the war is very interesting to read.

Inside the Whale

by

Start date: March 19, 2010

Finish date: March 21, 2010

Why we're reading this: This is the story of a love derailed by WWII and other circumstances. The story is set in WWII England...Stevie (short for Stephanie) meets Michael at Michael's father's dairy and they fall madly in love. Michael is soon shipped off to the war, not knowing he has left Stevie pregnant. Fate dictates that Michael is not killed but a series of events keeps him from returning to Stevie until well after the war, and in the meantime Stevie has married someone else and is raising her child as her husband's. The story is told from the different points of view of Stevie and Michael in the present day, as Stevie is coping with widowhood and being an elderly lady, and Michael is close to death in a hospital in London, and coincidentally being cared for by his own granddaughter. He is aware of this, but she is not... The book is sad, funny and amazing and a real testament to how events beyond our control and can shape our destinies.
