"Berkéwicz brilliantly traces the growth of awareness in a suggestible 'poetic' soul who moves from hopeful enlistment in the Hitler Youth movement through virtually total identification with the fate of his country's Jewish refugees. He's an appealing and memorable figure, and this is a fine novel."

Kirkus, 11/15/1996

Ably translated from the original German by Leslie Willson, Ulla Berkewicz's "Angels Are Black And White" evokes the emotional world of a boy in Hitler's Germany, and uncovers some of the very literary influences that played into the hands of the Nazis: the idealism and lyricism of Nietzsche, Rilke, and Holderlin. In "Angels Are Black And White" the fateful and fatal attraction of Nazism is portrayed vividly and becomes sensuously tangible. Reinhold's initial enthusiasm for the New Order leads him into combat in Russia where he witnesses a massacre of Russian civilians by Wehrmacht soldiers. Horrified and shocked, he runs away and deserts, hides in the Russian forests hounded by the images of horror he has left behind. His fate at the end of the war in Germany is the principle subject of "Angels Are Black And White". Ulla Berkewicz is a memorable writer!
