Hitler's Basement: My Search For Truth Light And The Forgotten Executioners Of Ukraine's Kingdom Of Death

Who murdered tens of thousands of Odessas Jews in World War II? How was this terrible secret kept hidden for over three quarters of a century? And what connects those questions to a small town on the North Dakota prairie? Hitlers Basement provides the answers as well as offering startling new perspectives on the Holocaust in an isolated region of Ukraine that Hitler called Transnistria. Part detective story part redemptive quest Hitlers Basement carries the reader deep into an ethnic labyrinth of guilt and memory to discover links between Soviet terror in the 1930s and the Holocaust in Transnistria and how relatives of a German-speaking minority who didnt immigrate to the prairie became cogs in the Nazi machinery of death. In a shocking twist the author traces one of the shadowy executioners to America to his own Dakota hometown--and finally to the edges of his very own family.
