The Pastors' Barracks,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Pastors' Barracks (Hardcover)
Having toured the site at Dachau Concentration Camp in August, 1999, I found the author's descriptive events of camp life both eerie and frightening. I was there where all this had taken place. Hard to believe. It was a very different time, but tragedy is in the air to this day and the utmost respect is apparent in every visitor and guide and display at the site. However, Wise's characterization of Christian Reger and his fellow inmates draws a picture of hope amidst suffering and above all, forgiveness. Some are more capable of it than others. Forgiveness is a challenge in this world, for sure. Christian Reger found it in the depths of his faith. An inspiration to all. After 14 months as a Prisoner of War in Germany during World War II, my own father was able to tell of the basic plight of all involved at that level....." 'they' (the German guards and soldiers) were just as hungry and frightened as us." War is hell, that's a given, but to know that our faith is strengthened through another's suffering, is to know that that suffering was not in vain in the least.
