Die Bäckerei is a tale of rare courage and resistance in Hitler's Germany as well as a prologue to our 21st century stories. The arc of this fast-paced adventure follows a reluctant hero from his origins in the Armenian Genocide in 1918, to the horror of life under Hitler in Berlin during the 1940's, and finally to the tragedy at America's southern border in the recent past. Review -- Ausgezeichnet, Five Stars and Two Thumbs Up! "Birmingham has given us a thrilling adventure, a timeless coming-of-age story, and a moving testament to the bravery of the everyday men and women who populated the German resistance to Hitler -- all deftly rooted in the history of the period. His message that the demons that tormented Germany then still lurk in the shadows today is gripping." -- Martin Sauter, Author and Historian, Berlin, Germany
