Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A New Yorker staff writer investigates his grandfather, a Nazi Party Chief, in a finely etched memoir with the powerful sweep of history (David Grann, #1 bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon) Fatherland maintains the momentum of the best mysteries and a commendable balance.The New York Times Unflinching and illuminating . . . Bilgers haunting memoir reminds us, the past is prologue to who we are, as well as who we choose to be.The Wall Street Journal A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New Yorker, The Washington Post, Kirkus ReviewsOne spring day in northeastern France, Burkhard Bilgers mother went to the town of Bartenheim, where her father was posted during the Second World War. As a historian, she had spent years studying the German occupation of France, yet she had never dared to investigate her own familys role in it. She knew only that her father was a schoolteacher who was sent to Bartenheim in 1940 and ordered to reeducate its childrento turn them into proper Germans, as Hitler demanded. Two years later, he became the towns Nazi Party chief.There was little left from her fathers era by the time she visited. But on her way back to her car, she noticed an old man walking nearby. He looked about the same age her father would have been if he was still alive. She hurried over to introduce herself and told him her fathers name, Karl Goenner. Do you happen to remember him? she said. The man stared at her, dumbstruck. Well, of course! he said. I saved his life, didnt I?Fatherland is the story behind that storythe riveting account of Bilgers nearly ten-year quest to uncover the truth about his grandfather. Was he guilty or innocent, a war criminal or a man who risked his life to shield the villagers? Long admired for his profiles in The New Yorker, Bilger brings the same open-hearted curiosity to his family history and the questions it raises: What do we owe the past? How can we make peace with it without perpetuating its wrongs? Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780804173308
