Iuniverse The Unforgotten Prayer by Danny Rittman
This Is My Story - My Life From The Horrors Of War And Slaughter To The Travails Of Change And Atonement. For Much Of My Life I Lived In Fear That My Past Would Catch Up To Me. I Hid My Beliefs And Prejudices And Walked Among The Gentle, Unsuspecting People Of A Small American Town. I Am, Or Was, An Embodiment Of Madness, Atrocity, Cruelty And Horror. I Had To Remind Myself How To Behave, React And Interact With Those Around Me. I Could Not Pick My Friends, Neighbors Or The People I Would Like To Associate With. I Could Not Express My Desires And Thoughts. I Could Not Do What I Wanted To Do. I Was Locked Inside A Mad World Without The Ability To Make Any Contribution, As I Used To Do - During The War And Before It. Friends And Neighbors? I Shunned Them. Social Groups And Religious Organizations? I Shunned Them As Well. Often I Thought It Better To Turn Myself In Or Die One Way Or Another - Just To Get Everything Over With. That Changed One Day - A Miraculous Day When A Young Child Came Into My Life And Helped Me Back Into Life, Reappraisal, And A Quest For Atonement. That Young Child Was Jewish. And I Am A Former Ss Officer.
