It isn't just the soldiers who die; from political prisoners to the innocent women and children who are not at the forefront are also killed mercilessly, especially when territory is annexed. Ironically, over the years, we have become so used to the idea of such mass destruction that it has all turned into simple statistics and numbers that vaguely float on the pages of some newspaper somewhere. The two World Wars in particular have gone down in history books as facts and figures, and we often find it hard to associate a single person with the atrocities that are committed in the name of national fervour. In this book, I have described the particulars of the Second World War and the rise of Nazism, from the very singular perspective of Irma Grese, who was one of the perpetrators of the violence. It is my hope that by dissecting the life of a single individual, especially that of an executioner's and not an innocent victim's, we can understand the true horrors of war and racial discrimination that destroys so many thousands of families and lives.
