Since then the series has won over fans across the world with its mix of action, emotion and coming of age originality. The first book in his Jason Steed series was published in 2008. Mark was born in, East Dulwich London, in the 1960's. Cooper is ranked alongside Enid Blyton and Anthony Horowitz as "The most original and best spy-kids authors of the century." (New York Times). The Edelweiss Pirates novels are fiction based on actual events that happened between 1939-1945 in Germany.Mark A. I interviewed ex-members of the Edelweiss Pirates and many ex-Hitler Youth members. The Edelweiss Pirates gave those who rejected the ideals of Hitler Youth an outlet to express themselves. The Edelweiss Pirates were very real groups of teenagers that formed across Nazi Germany in response to the indoctrination and strict regimentation of the Hitler Youth, a state-controlled program that required young people aged 14 and older to enroll. It is thought that the Nazis murdered as many as seventeen million innocent people. Millions of other people who Hitler didn't like were killed as well, including Polish people, Catholics, Serbs, homosexuals, and handicapped people. This included as many as one million Jewish children. The Nazis murdered six million Jewish people in concentration camps during the Holocaust. No doubt the German citizens were jealous. Many Jews were businesspeople and some were the best musicians and artists in the world.
This hatred grew on what was called the Holocaust. People were looking for someone to blame, and Adolf Hitler was there to urge them on. They blamed them for everything-from the defeat of World War I to the Depression. The Nazis and Hitler spoke against Jews even before the start of World War II. It occurred during World War II when Adolf Hitler was leader of Germany. The Holocaust was one of the most terrible events in human history.
