#WalkItOut Podcast 66: Amanda Barratt
In the month of May in the year 2000, I was with some friends. We were on a research trip in Europe and stumbled across a concentration camp. I really did not want to go look at that camp. I thought we need to go to a museum or a Mozart search or do something exciting like that! But … we went to the camp and the reality of what had been going on during World War II really hit me. It became real when I saw those tall walls and barbed wire. When I saw the cabins that held the hundreds and hundreds of prisoners. When I saw the ovens where so many lives were lost.
World War II was no longer something I learned about in my history books. Instead, it became so real to me. I think that it is so important that we teach others our history. We do that a lot through non-fiction, but I love when it can be done through fiction. I’m excited that today’s guest, Amanda Barratt, was able to share history in her new novel My Dearest Dietrich.
I pray that you’re going to be blessed by my conversation with Amanda! You can listen above or on iTunes! I’d love it if you shared with your friends!
