5.0
This book was indescribable. The horrors it depicts of the events of the Holocaust and the incredible work of Fritz Bauer in his attempts to hold Nazis, and German society more broadly, accountable for these horrors is phenomenal.
This book is well written and easy to approach, incredibly well researched, and unbelievably emotional. I hadn’t realised the state of German society after the war (which now seems obvious) considering how little individuals would want to take responsibility for such abhorrent events but also how mindsets (antisemitism, the belief in the German “master race”, etc.) couldn’t conceivably fade in only a couple of years.
This book was pretty distressing at times but covers SUCH an important part of our world history, the memory of which I think is vital that we all work to keep alive.
