"World War II not only wiped away whole villages and populations. It also wiped away pieces of history." (Page 175, Death in the Baltic)
Cathryn Prince tells a harrowing story, one of a mass murdering. Many think of the Titanic as a tragic shipwreck; the Wilhelm Gustloff sunk with more than 4 times the passengers of the Titanic aboard.
I learned so much from this book; the information about this piece of hidden history is priceless. I learned of the tortures that the Germans had to face during WWII. Commonplace Germans were afraid of the Nazis too, not just the Jews and other persecuted races. German families became refugees of a war that their own country started, but they wished to take no part in it. These families just wanted to get away... and the Wilhelm Gustloff was their ticket out of the war zone.
Sadly, this ship, carrying so many to safety, was chosen as the object of a torpedo attack. This great and mighty hulk sunk to the bottom of the Baltic Sea, taking an almost uncountable amount of souls with it.
How is it that no one has really heard of this ship and its tragic end?
Because it happened during a deadly war. (The Germans controlled the news of the sinking, and actually, not many knew about it at the time the sinking took place in 1945. The few survivors were silent. The story didn't travel far.)
"Death in the Baltic" holds all the information you could ask for about the Wilhelm Gustloff. It contains volumes of information of the ship, her history, her demise, and the travelers aboard her decks.
