Book Synopsis
Kurt Frank Korf's story is one of the most unusual to come out of World War II. Drawing on his correspondence and on oral histories and interviews with Korf, the author paints a portrait of a man forced to flee Nazi Germany because the Nuremburg Laws had relegated him to the status of "second-degree mixed breed" as Korf had one Jewish grandparent.
