Summary of bruce henderson's sons and soldiers

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Günther Stern, the eldest child of Julius and Hedwig Stern, had a idyllic childhood in Hildesheim, Germany. He was four years older than his brother, Werner, and twelve years older than his sister, Eleonore. The family was middle class. #2 In 1933, Hitler became chancellor of Germany, and within two months, the government called for a nationwide boycott of Jewish-owned businesses. Many Jewish proprietors began losing their non-Jewish customers. #3 Günther was a victim of Nazi Germany, and he was completely cut off from his former friends. He was forced to cut out pages from his history book and replace them with new pages, because the teacher thought the old pages were filled with Jewish information. #4 As the violence and hatred mounted around them, the Stern family decided it was time to get out of Germany. They began writing to Jewish organizations, seeking information about emigrating to America. The Nazis had reduced the amount of money that Germans could transfer out of the country, which was a major impediment for Jews wanting to immigrate to America.
