I had read a review in Newsweek of Crab Walk (the story of the Geman Titanic) by Gunter Grass. Crab Walk is not yet available in English and I didn't want to wait until his book came out in English to learn more about the sinking of the Wilhelm Gustloff.I read Sellwood's book in a few hours. It was a good appetizer, primarily focusing on 4 of the passengers. I will definitely be looking for other books that further detail this fascinating story.
