Once Upon an Evil Time

Once Upon An Evil Time is Dieter Steiner's personal and gripping story of how he grew up in a Germany dominated and corrupted by Adolph Hitler and the Nazi party. Related from the perspective of a boy, Steiner's first-hand experiences starkly reveal the social, cultural, and political insanity spawned by legalized intolerance and lethal prejudice. Diane Marcou provided essential assistance to Steiner in recapitulating his boyhood memories of what it was like to forage for food by day and huddle in a cellar by night as enemy bombs pounded terror and devastation into his German city. Steiner (now retired and living in Florida) has provided a riveting account of a young boy's endurance during a time of horrific changes that is accessible to readers today, with a detailing of his personal journey from prejudice and bigotry, to tolerance and empathy. In this time of world wide terrorism and murderous intolerance, Once Upon An Evil Time is very timely and highly recommended reading.

This book touches all of your emotions. You will not want to put it down. The compelling story of a young boy and his family in Nazi Germany will hold your interest to the very last page. It presents a viewpoint of evil that is relevant today. I highly recommend it for everyone.
