Description
A formally audacious and deeply moving memoir in three timeframes that confronts the defining trauma of the 20th century and its effects on a father and son.
In 1939, Jonathan Lichtenstein’s father, Hans, escaped Nazi-occupied Berlin as a child refugee on the Kindertransport. Almost every member of his family died after Kristallnacht and, arriving in England to make his way in the world alone, Hans turned his back on his German Jewish culture.
Growing up in post-war rural Wales, where the conflict was never spoken of, Jonathan and his siblings were at a loss to understand their father’s relentless drive and sometimes eccentric behaviour. As Hans enters old age, he and Jonathan set out to retrace his journey back to Berlin. Published to coincide with the 80th anniversary, this is a highly compelling account of a father and son’s attempt to emerge from the shadows of history.
For those who enjoyed East West Street, The Berlin Shadow is a beautiful memoir about time, trauma and family.
