A true Holocaust story, The Lion and the Lamb begins with a mysterious plane crash which catapults architect Albert Speer into Adolf Hitlers inner circle. When the two Nazi leaders become close confidantes, Speer is forced into constant competition with Heinrich Himmler, Joseph Goebbels and the unstable Hermann Gring. After a botched assassination attempt reveals Albert Speers name in an SS investigation, Speer is ostracized by the staff and falls under Hitlers suspicion for disloyalty. As the Russian army advances on Berlin, Speer is poisoned, lied about, and forced to fight for his standing with the most evil and calculating men in Europe. Will Speer survive his last-minute trip to the Fhrers bunker just hours before the end?

The Lion and the Lamb also tells the story of a Dutch Resistance worker named Corrie ten Boom who leads her entire family into a desperate struggle against the Nazis anti-Jewish policies in Holland. Like Speer, Corrie is thrust into a psychological torture chamber suffering daily anguish from abusive guards. She is forced to travel from prison to prison in Nazi death trains after her underground operation is raided by the secret police. A novel of innocence, betrayal and tragedy, The Lion and the Lamb is an absorbing tale of how war-torn people cling to the power of hope and faith.

THE HAND OF THE AGGRESSOR IS STAYED BY STRENGTH AND STRENGTH A LONE.

Dwight D. Eisenh ower

A lbert Speer was born in 1905 into a wealthy family. His father was an architect and ensured that his children received a good education. Albert wanted to become a mathematician, but he chose to study architecture instead, to please his father. Early in his career he came into contact with Hitler and the Nazi party, the NSDAP, and joined it in 1931. Speer quickly gained a good reputation within the NSDAP. When Hitler and the NSDAP seized power in 1933, Speer came into contact with the new leader.

Hitler loved art. When he was younger, he actually wanted to become an architect. It is therefore not so strange that Hitler took an interest in Speer. Hitler and Speer became friends and worked on many projects together. In 1942 Hitler appointed Speer as Minister of Armaments and War Production. Speer was now responsible for arming the ever more demanding Nazi war machine. To increase production and feed the hunger of the Nazi army, Speer used almost two million prisoners of war in his factories. Thanks to Speers efforts, the war may have lasted a year longer than otherwise would have been the case. It is sad to note, that in the last year of the war, as many people died as in the previous four years combined.

Corrie ten Boom grew up in a harmonious Christian family in Holland. Corries father, Caspar ten Boom, was a well-known watchmaker who raised his children to have respect and compassion for their fellow man and to love the Jewish people. Corrie followed in her fathers footsteps and became a watchmaker as well. Early on, the Ten Booms noticed the dangers of the rising anti-Semitism movement led by the Nazi party in Germany. When Nazi Germany conquered the Netherlands in May 1940 and started to hunt down and murder Jews, Corrie became the leader of a non-violent resistance group, consisting of more than 80 persons. Together with her father and sister Betsie, Corrie took in and sheltered Jews.

In a very special way, Charles Causey has interwoven the stories of Albert Speer and Corrie ten Boom, allowing the reader a glimpse into the choices Speer and Corrie made during their lives. In terms of ideology, both protagonists are diametrically opposed. Speer chose to destroy the lives of millions of people in order to please Hitler. He enjoyed the powers given to him; human lives mean rather little to him. Corrie, on the other hand, showed love and attention for every human being. She was even willing to put her life on the line to save a single person from death. In this book, we are confronted with some stark choices people can make in their lives: either to cause death and destruction, or to serve your fellowman and point towards a heavenly and divine future.

By describing the histories of Speer and Corrie, Charles Causey has provided us with hours of stimulating reading. What is more, he has also succeeded in making an important contribution to the answer of this crucial question: What will I do, if a regime comes to power that aims to destroy its opponents or entire peoples, like the Jews?

Corrie did not stand aloof, but, empowered by God, she rose up to protect His people. Here am I!

A lbert Speer werd in 1905 geboren in een welgesteld gezin. Zijn vader was architect en zorgde dat zijn kinderen een goede opleiding konden krijgen. Hoewel Albert wiskundige wilde worden, koos hij toch voor de studie architectuur om zijn vader een plezier te doen. Tijdens zijn werk kwam hij in kontakt met de nazipartij en werd hij in 1931 lid. Al snel groeide zijn reputatie in de nazipartij en toen de nazipartij in 1933 de macht grepen kwam hij in kontakt met Hitler.

Hitler hield van kunst en wilde eigenlijk in zijn jonge jaren ook architect worden. Hitler en Albert Speer werden vrienden en werkten samen aan veel projecten. In 1942 werd Speer aangesteld als de minister van Bewapening en oorlogsproductie. Speer werd verantwoordelijk voor de wapenproductie en om deze tot hoge productie te kunnen opvoeren gebruikte hij bijna 2 miljoen krijgsgevangenen. Door deze inzet van Speer heeft de oorlog misschien wel een jaar langer geduurd dan anders het geval zou zijn geweest. Het is triest te bedenken dat in dat laatste jaar net zoveel doden vielen als in de gezamenlijke vier jaren daarvoor.

Corrie ten Boom groeide op in een harmonieus christelijk gezin. Haar vader was een bekende horlogemaker en voedde zijn kinderen op met respect en mededogen voor de medemens en liefde voor het Joodse Volk. Corrie werd net als haar vader een horlogemaakster. Zij zette zich, samen met de andere familieleden Ten Boom, in voor de zwakkeren in de samenleving. Al in een vroegtijdig stadium zagen de Ten Booms de gevaren van het opkomende antisemitisme, aangevoerd door de nazipartij in Duitsland. Toen nazi-Duitsland ook Nederland veroverde en de joden ging vervolgen en uitmoorden, werd Corrie leidster van een geweldloze verzetsgroep die door meer dan 80 personen werd gevormd. Samen met haar vader en zuster Betsie, die net als zij ongehuwd was gebleven, namen zij Joodse mensen in huis.

Op bijzondere wijze heeft Charles Causey deze beide personen naast elkaar geportretteerd waardoor we een inkijkje hebben in de keuzes die ze maakten in hun leven. De beide hoofdpersonen staan qua ideologie lijnrecht tegenover elkaar. Speer kiest gewetenloos voor vernietiging van miljoenen mensen. Een mensen leven is niet in tel bij hem. Hij geniet van de macht die hij krijgt. Corrie heeft aandacht en liefde voor ieder menselijk wezen. Is zelfs bereid om haar leven in de waagschaal te leggen om een enkele persoon te redden van de dood. We worden in dit boek geconfronteerd met de keuzes die mensen maken in hun leven: dood en verderf zaaien of je inzetten voor de medemens en uitzicht op een hemels goddelijk leven.
