In January 1945, the former Kraft durch Freude cruise ship "Wilhelm Gustloff," carrying thousands of refugees and soldiers, was sunk by torpedoes from a Soviet submarine. Five to nine thousand people lost their lives in the icy Baltic Sea. One of the survivors of this horror is the heavily pregnant Tulla Pokriefke from Gdansk. Her son Paul, born that night, makes a shocking discovery fifty years later: the story has a continuation that directly concerns him. Günter Grass reads his harrowing novella about the sinking of the "Wilhelm Gustloff" and the repercussions of this catastrophe into contemporary Germany. Unabridged author reading with Günter Grass, 1 mp3-CD, approx. 7 hours 48 minutes.
