Traces of My Father

More about the book

Exploring the complex dynamics of father-son relationships against a backdrop of historical trauma, this autobiographical novel delves into Sigfrid Gauch's efforts to understand his father, Herman, a committed Nazi and race researcher. Rather than a political condemnation, it offers a deeply personal narrative that navigates the emotional turmoil of reconciling familial love with a father's reprehensible beliefs. Through this journey, Gauch presents a poignant reflection on legacy, identity, and the challenge of coming to terms with a difficult past.
