Abbot Ambrose Reger, O.S.B, (1872-1938) emigrated from his native Germany in
1892 to join the fledgling Benedictine monastery of Saint Bernard Abbey in Cullman,
Alabama. More than forty years later, having been elected the third Abbot of his
community, he had an opportunity to return for a visit to his homeland, now under
Nazi rule. The main purpose of his trip in 1937 was to attend the Congress of
Benedictine Abbots in Rome, but first he paid a visit to his homeland, and afterwards
also made a brief pilgrimage to Lourdes. In this volume, he gives a fascinating account
of his travels in a continent on the verge of war.
