This review is from: With Rancor and Compassion: The Memoirs of a Jew Who Thought He Was a German (Hardcover)

How many men of the World War II era do you suppose started out as a concentration camp victim of the Nazis and ended up as intellegence officer with the US Army, interrogating as prisoners the same men who had tormented him at the camp? Martin Selling is one of those rare individuals, and he tells his story, from his earliest childhood days in Germany to his reurn to his same nattve village as one of the victorious Amercan troops. His words are those of someone who has had a unique experience, lived through it and survived without nearly the hate and malice you would expect. It's a short read but an impressive one.
