Description
Can much of the psychological origins of Nazi genocide be traced to artistic expression? In this edgy and unique historical fiction novel, Max Bauer, war hero and Expressionist painter, is an ambitious protégé of the artistic-minded -- but anti-Modernist -- Adolf Hitler. He is the assigned curator of the infamous "Degenerate Art" and "Aryan Art" exhibitions in 1937 Berlin, and witness to a string of real life events that laid the foundation for the destruction of fifty-five million war dead. Torn between ambition and revulsion, he fights for his creative integrity, his colleagues, and his steadfast, half-Jewish wife Frieda in the face of escalating Nazi terror. As danger mounts and his pacifism crumbles, Max battles an obsessive but refined Gestapo henchman determined to destroy them. His struggle escalates with the massive "Crystal Night" pogrom, when -- with his physician wife Frieda -- he commits to vanquish this high stakes jeopardy. This visual and fast paced story -- with right-angle conflicts -- is based upon true incidents. It subjects us to the depravity of the Holocaust and Gestapo sadism, includes the sweet romance of a heroic female character, and offers a fresh spin on odious, historical figures consumed with subverting art to their own twisted purposes. Our climax plunges us into riveting action to destroy evil at its source.
