Publisher's Summary
Moving and provocative, Api's Berlin Diaries offers a personal perspective on the German experience in World War II and the far-reaching aftershocks of the Third Reich.
After her mother's death, Robinson was thrilled to find her beloved grandfather's diaries - only to discover that he had been a Nazi. The diaries show Api, a doctor in Berlin, trying to help the wounded in bunkers without water or light. Living in the ruins, he himself was near collapse. As Robinson retraces Api's steps half a century later, she tries to come up with answers to why he joined the Nazi party and reflect on German guilt while also remembering the happiest years of her childhood with him.
This moving memoir offers a timely reminder that we all need to reckon with our countries' pasts and treat each other with compassion and tolerance, no matter how different we are.
