Overview
- Summary
- This is the story of SS Colonel Kurt Andreas Becher, who was a confidante of Himmler. Yet Becher also negotiated the rescue of 1684 Jews in exchange for their wealth. After the war he was viewed as both a saviour and a demon. Did his humanitarian gestures sanitise his soul or did motives of commercial gain condemn him to eternal guilt? The reader must decide if he is Beyond Redemption?
