| Summary |
Essays on West German, East German and Swiss-German authors who experienced Nazi rule and World War II as adults. Entries examine these writers coming to terms with the experience of fascism, and how they were often the conscience of a society that was inclined to forget it recent past. The lives and works of these writers provide an insight not only into German literature but also into several decades of German history |
