This non-fiction book by US-American writer Wayne Laufert offers in-depth research and timeless insights for experienced readers who want to deepen their knowledge of Kurt Vonnegut (1922 – 2007) and humanist ideals.

The end of the Second World War is deeply embedded in our collective memory. On May 8, 1945, the Wehrmacht surrendered. Due to our history, we Germans have a moral guilt and responsibility for peace and friendship today. But facing the war in Ukraine, thoughts and feelings about liberation took on a new dimension. For May 8, Jan-Christian Petersen and the Humanist Initiative have sent out an open invitation to encounter what people of the past and present have experienced.
