I’ve often wondered why so many decent intelligent people became complicit in the evils of Nazi Germany.
The question is explored in this sensitively written and well researched novel, set in the Buchenwald concentration camp towards the end of World War 11. When his young wife is dying, the camp administrator turns for help to one of the prisoners, a doctor whose previous research involved an electrical device for treatment of cancer.
The characters, all desperate for different reasons, resort to deliberate lies and unconscious denials to escape their predicaments.
