Deep Down Trauma Hounds is an extremely powerful short story. The premise of this piece is a grandfather leaving a video for his children and grandchildren. The legacy he leaves is the truth about the horrors and nightmares of his youth in Buchenwald.
The three dimensional descriptions presented in this work were so true to life and so deeply touching (and sometimes bone numbingly disturbing) that I started questioning whether this was a work of fiction at all. I actually felt myself transported to that place in time and space when this man’s grandchildren watched that video. I shared their mixed emotions as they grieved for their grandfather’s youth and were simultaneously awed by the strength of this man who may have appeared a little distant while alive.
