The disintegration of a friendship between an American Jew and his German business partner

The novel "Adress umknown"/Empfänger unbekannt", first published in 1938, describes in letter form the disintegration of a friendship between an American Jew and his German business partner who returned to Nazi Germany in 1932. The novel describes the murderous anti-Semitism of the first years of National Socialist rule in Germany in a masterly narrative style. The story is more relevant today than ever: it shows how political ideology can destroy human bonds and poses pressing questions about guilt. Loyalty and retribution.
