Lost Generations By Peter Apap Bologna

Minimum Donation €15.00

Lost Generations is a novel, though more a work of faction than fiction. The author makes no excuses for that, for what prompted him to put it together over many years was the terrible sense of horror he experienced when learning of the consequences of European politics in the twentieth century. Lost Generations covers a span of twenty-seven years between the end of The Great War and the end of the Second World War. The hundred million human casualties of the two wars affected certainly more than one generation. Apart from the generation slaughter and the horrors of war, the Holocaust added a dimension of evil never before imagined in human history. This story reflects the enormity of such senseless carnage and devastation, and the sheer inhumanity of civilized nations. Arriving in Paris in 1923, Larry Sterne, a rich young man without ties, finds himself drawn into the glamorous and louche society of the American and British expatriates. However, conscious of his Jewish antecedents, he becomes totally involved with his Jewish relatives and the rising tide of anti-Semitism in Europe

From there he becomes directly involved with the dramatic events of the early days of the Second World War, when he serves as the secret eyes and ears of President Roosevelt in the meetings between the British and the French. Through the War he devotes all his efforts to saving Jews from the Nazis.
