Synopsis

In Strangers to Their Courage Alice Derry contemplates an awkward, even taboo, subject - the persecution and suffering of the German population before, during, and after World War II. Derry, an American who studied in Berlin in the 1960s, chronicles here the anguish of an entire people who "deserved" their lot, a people permanently tainted by the horrifying events of the Third Reich and the Holocaust. Sparked by her desire to capture in verse the torment of her German cousins, who had survived the horrors of war only to be separated by the division of Germany, Derry penned these poems over a quarter century.
