History: Witnesses of War by Nicholas Stargardt
REVIEWED BY JOHN CAREY

[The usual stuff about gas chambers]

The second world war killed children on an unprecedented scale. They were massacred, together with their families, when the German army invaded Poland and the Soviet Union. They perished in the death camps and the transports. They were incinerated in allied bombing raids on German cities. They froze in the mass flight from the advancing Russians in 1945. Yet nobody has tried to write their history until now. That is understandable, for most of them vanished without trace, and of those who survived many could not bring themselves to recall what they had been through. In later life, however, some broke their silence. Among the memoirs that Nicholas Stargardt draws on in this dark and harrowing book, one is by a former member of the Hitler Youth who, as a 15-year old, assisted at the execution of 200 Jewish women on a beach in East Prussia in 1945. Another is by a Czech boy who worked alongside the penal battalion at Auschwitz that drove prisoners into the gas chambers.

Diana married the fascist Oswald Mosley, while Jessica eloped and became a communist. Unity spent much of her adult life in a reckless pursuit of the man himself, Adolf Hitler. Read on

Buried Treasure

It seemed, at first, like nothing more than a novelty item in the news briefs, the kind of odd, meaningless side-fact thrown off by most major stories: "New Pope, President's Brother Had Link in Swiss Group." But a look beneath the surface of this innocuous connection reveals a vast web of sinister alliances -- and moral corruption on a world-shaking scale. Read on

For instance, did you know that Jesus Christ was Scottish? And Pontius Pilate? And King Arthur?

And, no, I am not referring to Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, which has its denouement in Scotland.

We Scots are not a boastful race. Reticence is spoon-fed to Scottish bairns along with their morning porridge. Which makes our propensity to make outrageous claims for our country somewhat bewildering.
