My interview and review with Christoph Fischer, a marvelous author. If you have a chance check out his site and have a look at his book, The Luck of the Weissenteiners – a compelling historical read that took place during the WWII Nazi Regime. One of my favorite reads of 2012. It is an honor to be featured at his site and receive this great review from him. I’m deeply humbled.
The year 1895 was filled with memorable historical events: the Dreyfus Affair divided France; Booker T. Washington gave his Atlanta address; Richard Olney, United States Secretary of State, expanded the effects of
