Published to international awards and acclaim, this is journalist Gâeraldine Schwarz's account of her German and French grandparents' lives during World War II, an in-depth history of Europe's post-war reckoning with fascism, and an urgent appeal to remember as a defense against today's rise of far-right nationalism.
What The Reviewers Say
... immensely powerful.
... [a] riveting exploration of Germany’s post-World War II reckoning with guilt and responsibility.
... [an] exacting and detailed memoir, a blend of personal and political history.
... disappointing in that it contains little about [Schwarz] family. The key players are no longer alive, talked sparingly before they died, or didn’t do much during the war.
