The German House by Annette Hess
Set in 1963 Frankfurt, the story follows Eva Bruhns, a young translator who finds herself entangled in the moral complexities of the Auschwitz trials. As she translates the harrowing testimonies of Holocaust survivors, Eva is forced to confront her own family's past and the secrets they have kept hidden. Her journey of self-discovery challenges her perceptions of justice, love, and identity, ultimately leading her to question the very foundations of her life and the society she inhabits. Through Eva's eyes, the narrative explores themes of guilt, memory, and the struggle for truth in a post-war Germany still grappling with its dark history.
