Description

In My Grandfather's Shadow is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the hidden scars of the Second World War. Angela Findlay's journey to uncover the truth about her German grandfather, a Wehrmacht General and a POW, takes her across Europe and Russia, revealing a vast and untold story of millions of Germans long buried in guilt and shame. Through her research, Findlay challenges widespread binary narratives and offers a way forward for healing and understanding the urgent lessons of this darkest episode in modern history. This courageous work breaks the silence surrounding so many of World War Two's perpetrators, revealing a complex and nuanced history that is both moving and profoundly insightful. A brave and important work, In My Grandfather's Shadow raises important questions about how and why we should remember the past, and how we can work towards healing the intergenerational wounds of trauma and guilt.
