"How is it possible that Franz Stangl, a kindly, unassuming, mild-mannered family man and policeman from the small Austrian city of Linz became the commandant of the Nazi death camp Treblinka, where he wore white riding breaches to oversee mass murders of Jews? Gitta Sereny conducts her months of interviews of him in prison—as well as interviews with his wife and acquaintances—with her customary decorum, intelligence, and respect. One of her many outstanding strengths as a journalist is that she is entirely committed to understanding her subjects rather than demonstrating that she and her readers are unassailably superior."

The infamous Lizzie Borden was the woman the public (but not a jury) believed murdered her father and stepmother with an axe. Since the science of forensics at the time was primitive at best, they found neither proof of Lizzie's guilt or any other suspects. That means we will never know the whole truth. Sarah Schmidt has her own ideas about Lizzie Borden, her family and the murders, all of which she put into her debut novel "See What I Have Done." Read my review of this fascinating book here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2017/06/10/the-clock-on-the-mantle-ticked-ticked/
