Exact opposite of what a good non fiction book should be.

This book reminds me a lot of the Witcher. A cynical man with loose morals starts a journey with a young girl who slowly gains amazing powers.
In this book, there is a lot of character development, redemption arcs, and tragic irony. There is a lot of biblical references and mentions of Catholic saints, more than I expected, but I enjoyed it and got me thinking a lot about violence, destiny, and forgiveness.

The first part of this book I would consider 5/5. It has a lot of great anecdotes and chilling testimony of the little people who became Nazis. The book severely falters in part 2. It goes from these anecdotes and testimony to Freudian racial memory theories and overgeneralizations of entire populations. Part 3 is slightly better with some interesting tidbits of history, but mainly it reflects on the current state of the world at the time of writing.
