By

Summary

The author announces the publication of a new book about their mother, exploring her past and her complex relationship with Nazi ideologies. The book, titled "Ein Fräulein aus gutem Hause: Im Schatten des Dritten Reichs" (A Young Woman from a Good Family: In the Shadow of the Third Reich), is a personal and historical work that the author had long avoided writing due to the difficult questions it raises about memory, history, and morality.

I just published another book. It is almost entirely unrelated to medicine; it's about my mother, her past, and her relationship to (and at times entanglement with) Nazi ideologies.
For a long time, I avoided this undertaking – perhaps because it compels me to link personal memories with historical abysses, or perhaps because it raises questions to which no simple answers exist.
