The Devil's Chosen

The brutality and terror of the Holocaust is chillingly brought back to life in this series of fictional accounts from author Robert Barker. SS officer Hans Gruber, the sometimes confused and troubled perpetrator, acts as our guide by connecting the scenes in the different stories.

With a focus on the stark, personal decisions made by the perpetrators and victims alike, "The Devil's Chosen" raises disturbing and enduring questions. Do we summon the bravery to stand against evil, or do we abandon all to save ourselves? Do we have the right and the power to forgive the silent bystanders as well as those responsible? What is our role?

"The Devil's Chosen" brings the actions and decisions of both the victims and the perpetrators into focus against the unforgiving background of terror and death.
