Let Sleeping Nazis Lie

Steeped in history, this psycho-drama and spy-thriller is set against the 1989 Revolution of East Germany and the Fall of the Berlin Wall, as well as the end of World War Two and the Soviet take-over.60-year old pacifist Klaus Bloederwitz remembers his parents with a fond nostalgia, in spite of being traumatized by their brutal deaths on the eve of his sixteenth birthday during the 1945 Dresden bombings.However, when he finds a way to return to the Past he is horrified to discover that not only had he been a fanatic Nazi in the Hitler Youth but that he was also responsible for his parents´ deaths.Returning to 1989, he is soon arrested by the Stasi secret police and interrogated by the vicious, Nazi-baiting, female K.G.B. officer, Colonel Medvedev. Piece by painful piece, she digs up the darkest secrets of Klaus´s family and friends and the ghastly truth of their Nazi pasts, including one of Adolf Hitler´s profanest secrets of all.At the same time that the East German government is crashing and the entire country seems to be about to descend into unbridled chaos, Klaus is left wondering who to believe – Colonel Medvedev or his conspiring friends or even his own traumatized memories – whilst spiraling ever further down into an international web of espionage.This roller-coaster of thrills and unexpected twists is rounded off by a comprehensive glossary of fascinating additional background information.Read more
