Heil Hitler, Herr Göd is the first of a two-part novel based on the true-life memoirs of the author’s grandfather. The author brilliantly weaves the collection of short stories and experiences left behind by his grandfather into one contiguous story that takes place over a handful of days towards the end of Nazi occupation in Austria. The main characters are not heroes of their times, nor are they the traditional villains or victims often portrayed in similar works— they are everyday people trying to make the best of a host of new and unbelievable challenges. From riveting and tense, to heartbreaking and haunting, the reader will be absorbed in Heil Hitler, Herr Göd and transported into this Austrian village, experiencing never before told stories. This unforgettable portrait of family, war, and survival will compel the reader to question how they would have acted, had they been in the shoes of these real-life characters. Read Less
