Inhaltsangabe:
This final volume of Victor Klemperers diaries opens in 1945. After the horrors of the war, Victor and Evas return to their Dresden home seems like a fairytale. Victor tries to resume his distinguished academic career and joins East Germanys Communist Party. In 1951, Eva dies; a year later, aged 70, Victor marries a student?an unlikely but successful love match. But with the growing repression of the Communist Party, and the memory of those who did not survive, Victors achievements ring hollow. Politics, he comes to believe, is, above all, the choice of ?the lesser evil. A masterpiece both of Holocaust literature and memoir.
