This book took a turn I was not expecting! I have always read books about the Holocaust mainly from freedom-fighters and the victims point of view. I have never read it from the point of view of someone that seemingly had nothing to do with it. It was interesting to take a look at the post-World War II Germany and get reactions of the Germans. I have always been told by foreign exchange students that they aren't taught about the Holocaust in school, and I know a lot of people don't think it ever happened, but to "listen" to what was probably a lot of those citizens thoughts after the war, and during the trials, it was very interesting and a completely different perspective. I did enjoy this book, however, it was not completely what I had anticipated. I wanted more focus on the main character Eva and the trials. I feel as if the side stories of Annegret and Jurgen were unimportant and unnecessary. The formatting of the book also threw me for a loop, but this could be due to the book being translated. However, before I got into the book, I had to keep rereading because the point of view would switch from one paragraph to the next with no warning, which really detracted from my overall enjoyment.
