Address Unknown: A Novel by Kathrine Kressmann Taylor
5.0
"I did not expect you would take up arms for my people because they are my people, but because you were a man who loved justice."
Two friends and business partners write letters back and forth when one of them moves back to Germany. One is German and one is Jewish. What unfolds is a haunting tale that you won't ever forget.
This book really stabs you in the heart. It's so short and simple, yet beautifully written. What makes it so memorable is how it echoes the truths of the past, a terrible past that we must never forget for fear of repeating it. I think something that is often looked over when discussing Hitler is the power he held over people and the charismatic way he spoke to them. He managed to convince perfectly normal people that what he was doing was the only way. This book really hits you with this.
It's incredibly short and sad but very powerful. I recommend this book highly!
