      About the Book

      Edit

      Obsessed with trees and Google Earth, retired teacher and pastor Ernst Klaszus spends a lot of time exploring German forests from the comfort of his Alberta home. His online travels bring back some unsettling boyhood memories — of marching in the Hitler Youth, of overhearing his parents talk worriedly about corpses in railroad cars, of seeing the city of Dresden be consumed by flames in 1945.

      Ernst's grandson Jeremy, a journalist, decides to document this wartime story. But when Ernst becomes seriously ill, Jeremy is forced to make sense of not only his German heritage — but also his family relationships.

      The evocative linocuts of Calgary artist Daniel Cristini help tell the rest of this powerful story, which won a National Magazine Award and two Western Magazine Awards in 2010.
