Gandhi's Way Out of Hell

By Gary S Brayshaw

Germany, 1936. When Wilhelm Spiegel, a brilliant literature scholar and member of the Hitler Youth, meets Hannah Levy, an American Jew, they forge an impossible connection over the pages of Moby-Dick. In Melville's tale of obsession and destruction, they recognize a chilling mirror of Hitler's vision-and in each other, they discover a forbidden love that defies the Nuremberg Laws.

Their romance ends when Wilhelm receives an invitation he cannot refuse: admission to Himmler's elite SS-Junker School. What follows will take him from the intellectual salons of Berlin to the frozen hell of Stalingrad, from the execution ravines of Kiev to the gates of Auschwitz.

America, 1945. A man calling himself Anton Werner appears at Hannah's door. He is a fugitive war criminal, smuggled into the country through Operation Paperclip. He is also Wilhelm-and he has come to confess everything.
His crimes are unspeakable. His remorse is nonexistent. He remains enthralled by the F hrer's vision even as he stands in the ruins of its defeat. Yet he asks Hannah for the impossible: not forgiveness, but redemption through an act of radical grace-marriage.

Now Hannah must choose: turn away the monster who betrayed everything she holds sacred, or offer him Gandhi's way out of hell-give him a child to raise as a Jew.

A haunting exploration of complicity, conscience, and the intriguing question: if ignorance is removed, can prejudice be overcome?
