Description

Here is a powerful human-interest account of the life of a young German, born in Berlin the year Adolf Hitler came to power in the Third Reich. Knut (pronounce « Kanute ») was totally indoctrinated as a child in Nazi Germany doomed to its total collapse in 1945. Because of the agony of recognizing all the wrongs of his youthful beliefs, he carried his share of the « collective guilt ». Knut embarked upon a new life, still in his early youth at 12, to steer a new course. As an « exchange student » at 16, he was sent to a small « work as you learn » vocational Junior College near Asheville, North Carolina, and experienced much of the American way of life firsthand. After a year, and back in Berlin, he borrowed enough money from an American benefactor to buy his passage on a freighter to return to America, which he was destined to love. He eventually came to St. Louis earning a BS degree in Political Science at St. Louis University. His student visa was about to expire when fate interceded, as he was given an opportunity to earn a « Green Card » upon successfully completing a three-year « hitch » in the US Army. And so, he was sent back to Germany as an « American » GI. There, he had the discipline of an excellent soldier, who had never quite forgotten his misguided childhood. Eventually, Knut worked his way through Law school, emerging as an attorney.
