A review by ladydewinter
Die Wohlgesinnten by Magdalena Kamińska-Maurugeon, Jonathan Littell

5.0

This book was very difficult to read. And I cannot say that I enjoyed it, because when talking about this book, this would feel very, very wrong. But it was indeed an amazing book that left me absolutely horrified. Not just because of the graphic massacre scenes but even more because this book made it so obvious how obscene people must have operated during the Third Reich - the bureaucratic squabbling about the best method to transport people to a place and how they might be killed most efficiently - that was very difficult to read. But all the same, I am glad I read it, and I think it's a book I want to read again, at a later point.
