During World War II, German teacher Karl Hoenner did not fight in Hitler's army, but he led a cell of the Nazi party in occupied France. After Germany's defeat, he was acquitted by the military court of Alsace. It is there, in the borderlands that passed from France to Germany several times, that Hoenner's grandson, the American journalist Burkhard Bilger, is heading today to find out the whole truth about his family's past and find answers to difficult questions. What makes people succumb to aggressive propaganda? Is it possible to remain a decent person when you participate in a crime not directly, but only indirectly? How to come to terms with your own memory and family history? "Fatherland" is a masterfully written book about disputed territories and moral gray areas, about responsibility and forgiveness, and how, ultimately, everyone is given a chance for redemption.
