soldiers and slaves american pows trapped by the nazis final gamble John Pekkari A cradle of ideas–historicalIn February of 1945, 350 American POWs, selected because they were Jews, thought to resemble Jews or simply by malicious caprice, were transported by cattle car to Berga, a concentration camp in eastern Germany. Here, the soldiers were worked to death, starved and brutalized; more than twenty percent died from this horrific treatment. This is one of the last untold stories of World War II, and Roger Cohen re creates it in all its blistering detail.
