Dreaming in Black & White

(1) 4-6 Translated by Anthea Bell. Through his dreams, a boy with severe birth defects travels sixty years back in time to Germany during the Third Reich; in the dreams he is a boy named Hannes, a "cripple." Hannes's father agrees to institutionalize, and perhaps kill, him--a betrayal the boy sees mirrored in the present in his family's attitudes about genetic testing. This spare, deeply felt novel adds a new dimension to Holocaust literature.
