Thoughts on The Tenth Witness

Rosen's prequel to All Cry Chaos comes out in September and they'll be a full review then. Tenth Witness is about Nazism simmering over a quarter century after the end of WWII. One of the characters says that she 'looks at white haired men in the street and wonders what they did during the war' and she doesn't mean that in a good way.

The thing that Rosen brought home to me is that we are all prejudiced (sometimes unconsciously) against something, even Henri the main character. Characters you are supposed to feel sorry for one minute are spun less sympathetically by the next words that come out of their mouths and their motivations.

The persecuted are not above persecuting others. It's a lesson we still haven't learned.
