Being of Polish descent and having had a great aunt who survived a concentration camp and silently suffered for years ignited my desire to read about and understand this very different perspective of post WWII. The German House does not disappoint!
Eva Bruhns was too young to remember the events of WWI. It was not until she took on a job as a Polish translator during the Frankfurt Auschwitz trials that she slowly learned of the atrocities committed at Auschwitz. As the trails progress, she learns additional disturbing truths that force her to question her relationships with her family. She also begins to question herself and her role as a wife.
It truly was a powerful read. I received an advance copy of this book from Bookish First in exchange for a review.
