I’m sorry that his parents are homophobic but it’s wonderful to hear that he’s found a place and partner in Germany!

Wow! Quite a story! There are a lot of Sri Lankan people in Germany and Switzerland. I have good friends from Sri Lanka. Does your cousin enjoy Germany?

Wonderful! Are you part Germa or did he move here?

I am from Southern Germany “Baden-Württemberg”. The KZ Natzweiler is actually on French soil though - in the Alsace. It is the only KZ in France.

Apologies for my lengthy absence.The semester started last week. To all of you who are also at university - have a great start!

The bold part of the letter is an original translation from a letter that Hirt wrote to Himmler in early 1942. The rest of the letter is fictional. Wimmer and Kiesselbach both worked with August Hirt.

I believe the best way to learn from history is to let the figures speak for themselves. However, it is essential to understand the historical context—secondary literature and research are necessary. I want to emphasize (again) that this book is NOT a work of Nazi propaganda. I will remove comments sympathizing with Hitler's speech(es).

Thank you so much! I'm glad to hear you're enoying it!

Thank you! I'm very excited to hear that you enjoy this novel. I recently had the opportunity to visit the KZ Natzweiler-Struthof, which inspired me to write this book.

Luftwaffenoffizier Dr. Wimmer was there. I have not found much out about him. Ferdinand Holl was a Kapo who took part in the experiments. He was one of the key witnesses to Hirts crimes.
