Translated by Erik J. Macki.
When Johanna discovers that membership in the Nazi party allowed her beloved grandfather to "acquire" her family's successful business from its original Jewish owners, she grapples with her own conflicted sense of responsibility and guilt. This beautifully written story challenges readers with a contemporary look at the continuing repercussions of the Nazi era for Germany.
