Description
The Berlin Shadow by Jonathan Lichtenstein is a deeply moving memoir that spans three timeframes. It tells the story of a father and son's attempt to confront the defining trauma of the twentieth century, and its lasting impact on their lives. In 1939, Hans, the author's father, escaped Nazi-occupied Berlin as a child refugee on the Kindertransport. This event had a profound effect on his life, leading him to abandon his German Jewish culture and grow up in post-war rural Wales where the conflict was never spoken of. As Hans enters old age, he sets out to retrace his journey back to Berlin with his son Jonathan. This memoir is a powerful exploration of time, trauma, and family, offering a unique perspective on one of the most significant events of the twentieth century.
