Description

Many years after the Holocaust, Erwin Siegelbaum is obsessed with finding Nachtigel, the Nazi commandant at the camp where Erwin’s parents died, and murdering him in order to free himself from the burdens of the past. Endlessly riding the train through the central European landscape, Erwin buys and sells Jewish artifacts to finance his vengeful quest. On his travels, buried in his memories, he ponders past and present, both the good and the nightmarish, finding comfort for his pain but also encouragement for the killing he is planning. Aharon Appelfeld leaves it to the reader to untangle the morality of Erwin’s mission. As always, he explores Holocaust themes with subtlety and compassion. A New York Times Notable Book for 1998.
