Hij was verantwoordelijk voor de deportatie van meer dan tachtigduizend joden vanuit Westerbork naar de vernietigingskampen. Meestal gaf hij persoonlijk, 'met een wenk met de hand', het vertreksein voor de treinen. Albert Konrad Gemmeker, commandant van Kamp Westerbork. Na de oorlog kreeg hij tien jaar. Wegens goed gedrag was hij na zes jaar weer vrij: in 1951 was hij weer terug in zijn geboortestad Düsseldorf. SS-Obersturmführer Albert Gemmeker was charmant.

Ad van Liempt deed diepgaand onderzoek naar de 'gentleman-commandant', van wiens reputatie weinig overblijft. Gemmeker was een bureaucraat, die zijn meerderen blindelings gehoorzaamde. Op enige empathie met de slachtoffers viel hij niet te betrappen. Later deed hij alles om zijn verantwoordelijkheid te ontlopen of op anderen af te schuiven. Hij heeft zijn leven lang ontkend dat hij wist welk lot de joden in het oosten te wachten stond. Na zijn terugkeer naar Düsseldorf probeerde de Duitse justitie nog bijna twintig jaar zijn onbevredigende berechting in Nederland te corrigeren, uiteindelijk zonder resultaat. Ad van Liempt deed jarenlang onderzoek. Hij las alle, vaak geheime dossiers in Nederlandse en Duitse archieven en sprak met tal van betrokkenen in Nederland en Duitsland - zelfs met twee nog levende dochters van Gemmeker.

It was alright
Format: Kindle
Pervious to this book, I had no knowledge of the struggles of the Chinese in the South during the post Civil War era. For that reason, I'm glad I read this book. I enjoyed that this book discussed and gave perspective on many social issues of that time. The main character is spunky and likable. There are many unbelievable scenes and conversations that I did not enjoy because they seemed too far-fetched. Why the author had to include a description of a naked man was also not to my liking. Worst of all, though, was the incredible number of similes in this book. There were just too many, and it got annoying. Overall, it was good enough to read, but I do not highly recommend it.

A Chinese in Atlanta
Format: Kindle
The Girl Downstairs was a charming book. Although the writing isn’t particularly sophisticated, it felt like Jo was letting us peek into the pages of her diary—raw, honest, and deeply personal. Her journey, as the main character, was both heartwarming and heartbreaking. Through her eyes, we witness the simple beauty of connection and the ugly truth of prejudice that has plagued our country for far too long. It’s a powerful reminder that humanity should never be measured by the color of one’s skin. This is another great YA read—I highly recommend it.

Atlanta During the 1890's
Format: Paperback
Whether you like The Downstairs Girl or not depends on what you crave. If you crave historical fiction that will teach you, or that helps you realize the myriad of things that were going on in a certian place and time (Atlanta during the 1890s, or an imaginative author who never use trite metaphors or similes, you will love this book. Or if you want to quickly turn pages, you will be disappointed. If you want a simple plot, do not read this book. If you want an intricately spun story with plenty of mystrey, humor and many surprises, you will love it. Jo Kuan is a Chinese American without voting rights, deStined to be a servang and doesn;t knw who her mother or father are, lives in a basement of a family with Old Gin who she thinks of as old man who adopted not offically but out of love. Chinese Americans were brought into the South after the Civil War to take over what slaves used to do but instead of no pay, they got tiny pay. You could walk or take a streetcar to work. Blacks sat the back of the streetcars, but if you were Chinese American, you didn't know where you sat or were told to gat off. They could not own or rent, where were you supposed to live; It was the start of Jim Crow laws and of cocoa cola. Women suffragettes started working towards the vote of white women. This was not a quiet oeriod of history. I thoroughly enjoyed this peak at Atlanta in the 1890's through an Asian American young woman's eyes, ears and even her nose.
