Thank you @harperviabooks for the gifted copy.

The German House is a thoughtful post World War II/post Holocaust novel, set during the Auschwitz Trials of 1963. Eva Bruhns is a young translator who learns about her country, and her family’s, role in the horrors of the Holocaust through her assistance in the trials.

It’s a fascinating and eye-opening glimpse into this time period and how a country can attempt to rebuild itself and its reputation in the world after something like the Holocaust. The German House also offers great insight into the trials and how Nazis were held accountable.
