Katarina Baer’s They Were Nazis gets Bonnier Grand Prize of Journalism

Journalist Katarina Baer’s praised book They Were Nazis has been awarded as the Book of the Year in Bonnier’s competition for the Grand Prize of Journalism. The jury stated that the book, published in 2016 and raved about by the critics, asks the big questions:

“Would you be carried away by the tenor of the times, an era where selective truths and hard partisan propaganda hold sway for years? It’s hard to understand our grandparents’ world view and actions, but you must build your own life despite the ghosts of the past. A work based on careful research, personal experience and asks difficult questions.”
