«De stamhouder» is the family chronicle by Alexander Münninghoff, published by Prometheus/Bert Bakker in hardcover (320 pages, in Dutch).
The author reconstructs the history of a well-to-do Dutch-German-Baltic family throughout the twentieth century, marked by World War II. He describes the rise and flight of a grandfather who became one of the richest men in Latvia, the experience of a father who fought on the Eastern Front with the Waffen SS, and the exile of a mother to Germany, while he presents himself as the heir, the stamhouder, of that complex family history.
The work was originally published in 2014 and won the Libris Geschiedenis Prijs; it was also a finalist for the AKO/ECI Literatuurprijs and the Publieksprijs voor het Nederlandse Boek.
