Dr. Barber also has written forewords for scholarly works and memoirs centering upon the ethnic cleansing of roughly fifteen million Germans from eastern Europe in the aftermath of World War II (Alfred-Maurice de Zayas, A Terrible Revenge: The Ethnic Cleansing of the East European Germans, 1944–1950 (New York: St. Martin’s Press, 1994; Raymond Lohne, The Great Chicago Refugee Rescue (Rockport: Picton Press, 1997; and Luisa Lang Owen, Casualty of War: A Childhood Remembered (College Station, Texas A & M University Press, 2003, among others).
Charles Barber currently resides in Mandan, North Dakota. Since 2008 he has written an opinion column for an alternative paper in Fargo, North Dakota: The High Plains Reader (http://hpr1.com). This column is written from the perspective of an historian and an activist in the liberal wing of the Democratic Parties in Cook County, Illinois and western North Dakota, and it draws “early and often” on his sessions and experiences with Judge Aaron Jaffe.visualizza meno
