 Address Unknown is a short but impactful read. It is a series of letters between two friends and business partners. Martin has just returned to Germany while Max, who is Jewish, remains in America. The year is 1933 and Hitler is rising to power. It highlights the rise of fascism and how a person could be taken by extremism and become willing to sacrifice the human rights of some groups in the belief it will somehow improve their country. Obviously this book has a lot of relevance and resonance today. Towards the end the nature of Max’s letters changed drastically and it took me a minute to work out what was happening. I’m still not sure how I feel about it, but I definitely understand the sentiment underlying it.
