Produktbeschreibung zu Address Unknown

This tiny book was first published in 1938, when Hitler had just established himself in Germany and the persecution of the Jews had already reached the stage of arrest, concentration camp and death. It is an exchange of letters between two business partners - a Jew and an Aryan. The latter returns to Germany and is captivated by Nazism; the former remains in the USA, horrified by his friend's fascism - and when his sister, an actress, makes the mistake of announcing her Jewishness from the stage of a Berlin theatre and vanishes, he is devastated to hear of his former friend's betrayal of her. His revenge is swift and ingenious. This book had an enormous effect on first publication, and is one of the forgotten texts of the 1930s. It is good to have it in print again, and though it can be read in half an hour; the impression it makes is still remarkable and lasting. (Kirkus UK)
