The Ostracized Aryan - Der Verboten Arier This masterfully intriguing book is a historically-based fictional biography that tells the personal account of Herr. Adalrik Wechsler during WWII. Adalrik Wechsler is a German/Swiss national and economist who works at the Federal Finance Ministry in Nazi Berlin. Adalrik's private life also holds a "most unspeakable and secretive skeleton in his closet" that could potentially lead to his arrest and his "ultimate demise". He uses his Swiss neutrality to serve as his primary protection against the ruthless and diabolical Nazi discriminatory laws; but, he must abide by wearing the standard Nazi insignia pin as devout loyalty to the German Third Reich. In essence, the book explores the precarious situation of a man in Nazi Germany who is hiding a dangerous secret and relies on his nationality to navigate the oppressive and discriminatory laws of the regime.
