Beyond Strength and Sorrow

By Max Wildeman

During WWII, a Jewish nuclear physicist, while working at the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute (Berlin) discovered how to use graphite as a medium for sustaining a nuclear reaction. His scientific notes were smuggled out of Germany while the Nazi war machine was misled. Angelina, a fifteen-year-old peasant girl from Tuscany unknowingly became the caretaker of the papers, eventually handing them over to the Allies. The story is mainly about Angelina who suffered from a dysfunctional family and many atrocities of war. In a five-year period, she had a child out of wedlock, the child was killed, she was raped, became a freedom fighter, prostitute, and refugee. All her life she had been seeking the love of her father who with a narcissistic personality sought only to fulfill his lusts and desires. While living on the streets of Rome after it was liberated, she discovered the love she had been seeking all along.
