It seems some war scars never completely heal.,

This review is from: Bicycling to Amersfoort: A World War II Memoir (Paperback)
The strong point is very human insight into what life was like under German occupation. It was surprising to find out how split the Dutch were, some collaborating, some on the fence, and others fiercely anti-Nazi.The author does a good job of taking the reader onto Dutch streets where Jews were being rounded up for exterminations while Dutch workers were being conscripted for work in German war plants. The revelations of his imprisionment and events that clouded his postwar life must have been painful for the subject, Jan Makkreel, to see in print. The story forced me to take a look around to see how two-sided people might be in my own society under harsh circumstances, and how many people our present war is going to leave nursing psychological scars for the rest of their lives. A couple of typos might have been edited out before it went to press. |
