Description
Ernst Beck has a new job at Topf & Sons, an engineering firm that's making a significant contribution to the war effort. His role is to annotate plans for new crematoria, but there's a catch - he's reporting directly to Berlin and his work will be used by the SS. As Ernst navigates this complex situation, he must confront the contradictions of human nature and the consequences of his choices. Will he speak out against the fate of thousands or turn a blind eye? This powerful novel shines a light on the darker aspects of human complicity in the face of fear, making for a thought-provoking read.
