Each of us has something that feels essential to who we are. For Hans Frambach, it''s the crimes of the Nazi era, which have hurt him for as long as he can remember. That''s why he became an archivist at the Bureau of Past Management; now, though, he''s wondering if he should make a change. For his best friend, Graziela, that past was also her focal point--until she met a man who desired her. From then on, sexual pleasure became the key to her life; a concept she''s now beginning to doubt. Hans and Graziela thought the Nazi crimes were the inheritance that neither could bear, but can we really blame Nazism for everything?
Iris Hanika shows how the crimes of the Nazi era hold the Germans in their clutches to this day. Can a country manage its past, or ought we to remain helpless in the face of the horrific crimes of the Holocaust?
Iris Hanika has all the humour, love of experimentation and political rage of a German Lucy Ellmann, over fewer pages.
