Sinopsis

In 1955 Monika, an acclaimed Jew pianist from Berlin who had survived imprisonment in a concentration camp, is called by the police to identify a former Nazi officer whose quarters she was appointed to wash as a child. Monika doesn’t want to reveal the secrets of her past and the absolutely unusual relationship between her and the war criminal, due to the fact that he loved piano music and she could play. The story of the pianist slowly emerges through a series of flashbacks, from her childhood scarred by her father’s abuses, to the lager and then to her success, until it reaches an unexpected and moving conclusion.

    Throughout the Third Reich, millions of Germans pledged allegiance to Adolf Hitler. In the Bavarian village of Schwarzenfeld, they followed an American citizen. 
    Fr. Viktor Koch, C.P., has quietly ministered to the people of Schwarzenfeld throughout the war. In a time of oppression, he has struggled to keep their faith alive, despite the watchful eyes of Nazi authorities. 
    As he peacefully resists efforts to end his missionary work, Fr. Viktor wrestles with his heritage and identity. Why does he feel rooted in Germany? Is he following a higher calling or bound by the mystical forces of his ancestry? Awakened to the tyranny of Nazi rule, his followers risk prison to express their dissent. Relying upon his ingenuity to protect them, Fr. Viktor finds a grudging ally in a Nazi charity worker who confiscated his monastery. 
    In April 1945, American liberators arrive in Schwarzenfeld and make a gruesome discovery: the SS have left a mass grave of concentration camp victims on the village’s border. Enraged by the sight, the American commander holds the town responsible. He issues a chilling ultimatum—the villagers must dig up and properly bury each of the 140 corpses within 24 hours, or every German man in town will be executed. 
    With time running out, Fr. Viktor must perform a miracle. He must convince his countrymen that his followers are not the enemy. Their humanity is still intact. And most of all, they are innocent.

    Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart.  A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere. 
     
    In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?  
     
    The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme.  Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature. 
     
    Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made.  If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something. 
     
    War has ruined Nations and peoples.  Revolution has followed in some.  In the aftermath society slowly picks itself up, unaware that collapse is already beginning to ferment in its economic bastions.  The authors of this decade are purposeful with their prose, describing and detailing with stories the brazen nature of this decade.
