Hitler did not come out of a vacuum; he was the product of 2,000 years of ill will, towards the Jews, that began with the expulsion of the Jewish people from their homeland, by the Romans who presided over Israel at the time, putting 125,000 Israelites to death on the cross, Jesus being one of them, for fighting the Romans, in order to free their people from bondage.
Hitler came to power with 43.9% when President General Hindenburg, on the advice of the industrialist Krupp, gave the position of Chancellor to Hitler with the vote of the German people. Feeling that they had been stabbed in the back, the Communists in Berlin started to run around with red flowers in their lapels, shouting that the Social democrats had betrayed Germany.
Whilst this is a story depicting a shocking upheaval of the times, it is not the horrific story of a concentration camp survivor. It is the harrowing tale of one young girl's upbringing and whose courage, inner strength, and will to live through a time in history unparalleled by any other, was fostered by the extraordinary example of her beloved parents. It is the story of how she, Margot Davidowitch lived through personal tragedy in Hitler's Germany, and then in Poland and communist Russia, before, during and after W.W. II, coming out of that dark period, a complete person; a testament to that inner strength that remains with her to this day.
It is also the irrational tale of devastation and the hope that can come out of the ashes of war, and it gives the reader an insight into the life of a European Jewess, during that time. There is no question that fate played a large part in the lives of her family. When you read this biography, you will understand how and why.
