Hitler tasting. Postorino R.

International bestseller of the Italian writer Rosella Postorino, laureate of the most prestigious literary awards of Italy: Strega, Campiello and Un Autore L’Europa. The novel is based on a real story-an interview, which was given in 2012 by 95-year-old Margo Velk, the only surviving war of fifteen girls who, in the Hitler’s headquarters of Wolfshanta (“wolf lady”) tried food intended for the Fuhrer: he was pathologically afraid that his They can poison. For a native of Berlin, Rosa Zauer (under this name, Margo Velk was bred in the novel), which ended up in East Prussia by chance, this service made it possible to eat plenty of the war for the first time during the war, but the cost of each dinner could be death.

Like the “reader” of Bernhard Shlinka, the “tasting of Hitler” - not so much about the horrors of war as about fear and choice. About whether it is possible to remain on the fight, serving the embodiment of world evil. What is it possible for and what you can’t go to in order to preserve hope for a future life, for the return of her husband from the front?..
