A devastating novella set in occupied Germany, 1945: a rocket scientist caught between captors, hostile neighbors, and the weight of what he won't confess. Gripping historical fiction.

Etwas zur Kritik : so immens wichtig natürlich die Öffnung dieses Archivs auch ist.

Meine familiären Vorahnen finden sich nämlich NICHT in dieser Kartei und trotzdem haben sie den NS Schund aufgesogen und in PostWarGermany gelebt, in inhumanen Redewendungen und Haltungen uns versucht zu prägen

It's been some time since I've seen it... and every time it matured me cry. Now, it feels like Homer's story feels more important now.

From 1959 to 1961, René Burri set out to document post-war Germany – his Swiss passport granting him access to the West + the East. In 1962 the images were published in the photo book Die Deutschen (Les Allemands)

“Ernst was still in the Eastern Zone, about ninety kilometres from Berlin, when the truck emerged so inexplicably out of nowhere that it seemed to have been created by the rain itself.”
