IN MY GRANDFATHERS SHADOW - ANGELA FINDLAY KART...

Having wrestled for decades with an inexplicable sense of guilt  Angela Findlay eventually
turned to her German roots in the hope of finding answers. There  she discovered three
generations knotted together by events that took place in Nazi Germany: a grandfather who was a
decorated general on the Eastern Front  his daughter and granddaughter - Angela herself. In a
rare confluence of memoir  psychology and historical detective story  Findlay's unflinching
quest for the truth about her grandfather breaks through the silence surrounding many the
Second World War's perpetrators. In My Grandfather's Shadow explores the heritability of
unresolved experiences  questions deeply held perceptions of good and bad  and uncovers the
lesser-known history of the war's losers  a post-war culture of apology and atonement  and the
lingering legacy of shame. Using her own family story to explore an episode in history that
continues to appal and fascinate  Findlay reveals that it is possible not only for the scars of
trauma to be handed down through generations  but also for them to be healed.
