After learning of his survival of major campaigns, liberation of concentration camps, and his acquisition of a Nazi Waffen-SS diary, DeFonzo sifts through his memories and travels in his footsteps in order to \u201c[capture] the powerful connection that can exist between grandparent and grandchild\u2014sharing what has never been shared with others, forever intertwining two souls,\u201d says author Miles Ryan Fisher.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Week of June 12 Welcome to Summer Semester!
