sadly there no of his work was translated into english

Ralph Giordano 23 March 1923 – 10 December 2014
Was survivor of holocaust, became journalist, then writer and publicist
he is know in Germany for his reports on West German trials of Nazi war criminals for the Central Council of Jews in Germany in 1958
And his journalist work for WDR (West German Broadcasting organization)

Giordano write the semi-autobiographical novel "Die Bertinis" portraying the experiences of a family of mixed ethnic heritage , through hell of Nazi rule and Holocaust.
His book "Die zweite Schuld oder Von der Last, Deutscher zu sein" is critical report about Nazi movements after WW2 and rise of Neo-Nazi movements.
in response to that book he write "Wenn Hitler den Krieg Gewonnen Hätte" and "Wie kann diese Generation eigentlich noch atmen?" a overview of hate letter send by Nazi to Giordano.
The book "Die Traditionslüge" he criticize the German armed forces undemocratic roots and it connection to Wehrmacht and NSDAP.
In "Ein Glücksfall, ein Wunder, ein Mirakel." he interview survivors of Holocaust.

For his work he received allot awards like the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany
in last years Ralph Giordano comment about danger of Islam was heavily criticized, now 2 years after his dead, his worst prediction became true...
The only issue I have is that is was not a trained historian and I haven't found anything about the quality of his work as history, nor a review of that specific work. I'm not doubting that he wrote an interesting books, but he doesn't seem to have historian training to be able to write a historically accurate work through the appropriate methodology.
 
Dear friends of a short period.

At the moment I shall have the site on a low simmer for me.
This due to the fact that my daughter was born still last Saturday.

This means ofcourse we are in deep mourning.

Writing will come later.
Thank you for your understanding.
