James Cloud is a retired educator with more than 40 years of experience teaching History, Government, German, and English as a Second Language. Among his awards are The Adult Educator of the Year in Utah. The author attended the Institute of Arts in West Berlin and worked as an interpreter for the British Military Mission during the Cold War years. While living in Germany, he developed an intimate knowledge of both East and West Berlin. Cloud later completed a Master’s Degree in German Linguistics and Literature at California State University at Fullerton. Cloud was born and brought up in New Mexico shortly before the outbreak of World War II. His first grade teacher in 1943 was Jewish. Minerva Kohn was a loved and respected woman in Las Vegas, New Mexico. His memories of her led to an interest in Jewish culture and traditions. At the same time, his circle of friends and acquaintances included many people from the German-American community. The effects of World War II had a profound influence on him, leading to a lifelong fascination with these two cultures. He also developed friendships with many Jewish people during his years in Boston, where he worked at the Gillette Company. His years of teaching brought him in contact with people of many nationalities and cultures. Cloud has attempted to bring together in this novel his impressions gained from interactions with these groups – most especially with German and Jewish people – and how they in turn have related to each other.
