Menschen in Berlin. Schicksale bekannter und unbekannter Persönlichkeiten aus dem letzten

An old telephone book is the novel of a city. Those who leaf through it enter a densely populated shadow realm: perpetrators stand next to victims, cowards next to the brave, heroes next to the forgotten. Hartmut Jäckel guides the reader through Berlin in 1941 and tells the stories of over 200 people whose traces were found in the last official telephone directory of Berlin before the end of the war. These life portraits come together to create a moving panorama of a bygone era: Germany, just before its downfall and new beginning.
