My Father's Country: History of a German Family

The absolute non-fiction sensation from Germany:
A unique family epic

In August 1944, officer Hans Georg Klamroth is executed for high treason. Thirty-five years later, his youngest daughter, Wibke Bruhns, sees film footage of her father for the first time, recorded during the trial against the conspirators of 20 July 1944, the infamous attack on the Führer. The images haunt her. Who was this man, this father unknown to her? The long search for his, and her own, history takes her back to the past, the Nazi past of the Klamroths, a respected merchant family from Halberstadt during the empire.
Numerous documents in the Klamroth family archive form the basis of a gripping family epic, which paints an impressive picture of a century of German history. It captivates the reader through the author's courageous confrontation with the Nazi past, which comes painfully close in the person of her father.
