Professor Kueter has found a way to provide an understanding of the incomprehensible and open up conversation through empathy and humor. The background to the story is not something anyone who has not experienced the darkest side of humanity can always feel confident, let alone comfortable, laughing about. And it can be difficult to communicate or teach this key time in modern history. But Hubert Kueter's book comes to the rescue, even bringing a mouthwatering treasure of regional recipes. The teenage escapades, guided by the inspiration of Reynard the Fox, are like a Huck Finn adventure, turning the horror into excitement, until the next challenge. And then comes romance, with the iconic Brigitte, like the goddess Freya in the imagination of young Horst, the author's name for himself, in order to tell this tale of a time we must never forget.
