The Wisconsin Krueger Family Tragedy: 16 Years of Letters from Prison

The story of the Krueger family was once common table-talk throughout the Midwest. This is a tragic story of a family whose members were persecuted, murdered, and thrown into prison during the WWI era, due in part to misunderstandings arising from their German heritage. It was during a time in our history when being a conscientious objector was looked upon as being a traitor. The author acquired never before published letters that shed new light on this story. It is a story riddled with heartbreak, sadness, suffering, and questions that may never be answered. The injustice of this story will make most readers angry and leave them with a very helpless feeling.
