Gnther Schulze is Inge Myrick's younger brother, and his story, like hers, is of an individual swept along by the terrifying and incomprehensible forces of History. Gnther tells of a troubled adolescence in the 1930s and 40s as the war tore his family apart, and of his time in the German army and as a prisoner of war. Then, in the story's second act, a new colder tragedy takes place, as Gnther struggles to make a life for himself and his family in a society that claims to be of the proletariat yet seems to have completely forgotten the people. This fascinating life story weaves itself through the tumult and chaos of our most recently completed century. Inge Myrick includes her own memories of her return visits to East Germany in 1968 and 1988, providing an insightful new conclusion to the story she told so memorably in The Other Side: The Life Journey of a Young Girl Through Nazi Germany.
