Monsignor Georg Ratzinger hasn’t always lived in the shadow of his younger brother, Joseph. Georg was an accomplished musician, who for over 30 years directed the world-famous boys choir of the Regensburg Cathedral.

Joseph was a brilliant young professor, but mostly known in German academic circles. This book is a unique window on the early life of Pope Benedict XVI. Georg’s reminiscences are detailed, intimate and warm. And while they begin with the earliest years of the Ratzinger family, they continue right up to the present day.
