They Sang Louder Richard Griffin

Publisher Marketing: Cold and cramped, Arno found himself riding in a closed boxcar on one of Himmler's death trains. They hadn't thought past the killing part of their plan. The mission had been successful, but he had been careless. He deviated only slightly. Inexperience trying to help a friend, only a minor infraction, yet a subversive act in and of itself was his undoing. Perhaps, if he had left the country sooner he would be on a different train. He was unfamiliar with Buchenwald and had no idea what lay ahead. Now, there would be no way to help his father. Arno was ten and living in Nuremberg when Hitler came to power. Though his family were not Jews, he learned about anti-Semitism growing up in the heart of Nazism. He witnessed the rallies, deportations, the Kristallnacht pogrom and Himmler's death trains. When his father was sentenced to Dachau by a revenge seeking Nazi blockleiter, Arno exacted his own retribution which would cause him to be sent to a concentration camp where his own life would hang in the balance. In the camps he and his father would experience first-hand the insanity of the new German State which would devour even its own citizens to achieve its goals. This is a story of life, death, love and survival in a nation gone mad focused on two things; power and the annihilation of an entire race of people.
